Where is the folder for Installing tensorflow with pip, Mac OSX?
Question:
just installed tensorflow using pip with the command:
$ pip install tensorflow
On the “Getting Started” for Tensorflow they have an example for convolutional neural networks
$ python tensorflow/models/image/mnist/convolutional.py
Where is that directory located when installing with pip?
Answers:
Installing with pip, installs the packages to the directory “site-packages”.
The following code shows the location of tensorflow as well as where pip installs the packages:
$ pip show tensorflow
Which return:
Metadata-Version: 2.0
Name: tensorflow
Version: 0.5.0
Summary: TensorFlow helps the tensors flow
Home-page: http://tensorflow.com/

Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: six, numpy
here Location: shows where the package is installed with
$ cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow
EDIT:
As some people pointed out in the newer versions of tensorflow and depending on the $ echo $TENSORFLOW you need to look in either
$ cd /usr/local/lib/python{2,3}.X/{site,dist}-packages/tensorflow
Or
$ cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tensorflow/include/tensorflow/core/framework
It depends on where is the $TENSORFLOW environment variable is set. Let’s help it setup.
First check, $ echo $TENSORFLOW if it returns blank, you need to setup the access of tensorflow in any directory from your console.
There are two cases of that:
-
In case you have python from anaconda library/environment (let say you have anaconda2), the usually installed location is: ~/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-package/tensorflow
-
In case of Python2.x or Python3.x, x = is subversion like 2.7 or 3.5, the usually installed location is: /usr/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages/tensorflow
Now that you have identified the python version, use it as the onetime path in bash or profile. Type this Linux code:
$ vi ~/.bashrc
add this line at the bottom of the bashrc file.
$ export $TENSORFLOW="~/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow:$PATH"
check again in a new terminal
$ echo $TENSORFLOW to verify.
or use `source ~/.bashrc’ to reload the new environment variables.
Now you can all set to use
$ python tensorflow/models/image/mnist/convolutional.py
directly by
$ python -m tensorflow.models.image.mnist.convolutional.py
Now your program as per description in TensorFlow tutorial will search these path with period (.) instead of "/" with the -m argument.
