Answer 1

This is official recommendation for upgrading Tensorflow.

To get TensorFlow 1.5, you can use the standard pip installation (or pip3 if you use python3)

$  pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

Answer 2

For anaconda installation, first pick a channel which has the latest version of tensorflow binary. Usually, the latest versions are available at the channel conda-forge. Then simply do:

conda update -f -c conda-forge tensorflow

This will upgrade your existing tensorflow installation to the very latest version available. As of this writing, the latest version is 1.4.0-py36_0

Answer 3

To upgrade any python package, use pip install <pkg_name> --upgrade.

So in your case it would be pip install tensorflow --upgrade. Just updated to 1.1.0

Answer 4

(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade pip  # for Python 2.7
(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade pip # for Python 3.n

(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow      # for Python 2.7
(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow     # for Python 3.n
(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu  # for Python 2.7 and GPU
(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu # for Python 3.n and GPU

(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu==1.4.1 # for a specific version

Answer 5

Before trying to update tensorflow try updating pip

pip install --upgrade pip

If you are upgrading from a previous installation of TensorFlow < 0.7.1, you should uninstall the previous TensorFlow and protobuf using,

pip uninstall tensorflow

to make sure you get a clean installation of the updated protobuf dependency.

Uninstall the TensorFlow on your system, and check out Download and Setup to reinstall again.

If you are using pip install, go check the available version over https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow, search keywords with linux/cpu/tensorflow to see the availabilities.

Then, set the path for download and execute in sudo.

$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py2-none-any.whl

$ sudo pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL
