Cannot install TensorFlow 1.x
Question:
I am trying to install Tensorflow 1.14 for a package that I am trying to use. I tried:
pip3 uninstall tensorflow
Then I tried to install Tensorflow 1.14 using:
pip3 install tensorflow==1.14
and I get the following error
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==1.14 (from versions: 2.2.0rc3, 2.2.0rc4, 2.2.0, 2.3.0rc0, 2.3.0rc1, 2.3.0rc2) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==1.14
I also tried making a new virtual env and tried the following commands but it didn’t work. Is there any way to install Tensorflow 1?
Answers:
Try installing the final version of TensorFlow 1.15 using,
pip install tensorflow==1.15
Make sure that you are using a python3 virtual environment and Python version is 3.6 or above.
Or you may use Conda environment and install using
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow=1.15
What I’ve found on discourse:
You just need to make sure you’re using Python 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7. TensorFlow 1.15 does not support Python 3.8
It works for me to install 1.x tensorflow with the following command:
pip3 install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.14.0-py3-none-any.whl
On top of what being said (i.e. the version), be sure that it is 64-bits version because Tensorflow is not working with Python 32 bits (or at least the recent versions).
You can check your version by typing python in the command line and check what appears.
For example, this is for 32 bits
and for 64bits
I faced the same issue while installing tensorflow version 1.14.0. The best solution i tried is:
Note that your Python version is 3.7.8
Steps:
- Open python 3.7.8 script folder C:UsersmypcAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37Scripts folder and type "cmd" in above bar, which opens it in the command prompt.
- To install tensorflow-1.14.0 type : pip install tensorflow==1.14.0
- To install keras-2.2.4 type : pip install keras==2.2.4
From this issue on the Tensorflow Github titled Tensorflow 1.x not available for python 3.8:
Saduf2019: TensorFlow 1.x even 2.1 does not support Python 3.8
mihaimaruseac: We don’t add new versions of Python for old releases. If you want to use TF 1.15, you have to use Python 3.7 or lower. If you want to use Python 3.8 you have to use TF 2.2 or newer.
Sounds like support for newer versions of Python > 3.7 won’t be available for any tensorflow 1.x < 1.15.
