tensorflow versioning mis-match in python

I have no idea, why my python is acting so weirdly. I had tensorflow-2.3, as that doesn't go with cuda-10.1, so I had to go back to tensorflow-2.1. So my commands were :
pip uninstall tensorflow tensorflow-gpu
pip install tensorflow==2.1.0 tensorflow-gpu==2.1.0
But when I try to use tensorflow in python, it says it's version 2.3.
When I tried to uninstall the second time, it says I have 2.1.0.
Then why python is showing version 2.3 instead of 2.1?
Here is a snap :

You are installing to python3.6.
But your “python” command is executing python3.7
Try typing python3.6
PS: Use conda for python environment management.

Cannot install TensorFlow 1.x

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?

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

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

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:\Users\mypc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts 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.

Can't install tensorflow with pip or anaconda

Does anyone know how to properly install tensorflow on Windows?
I'm currently using Python 3.7 (also tried with 3.6) and every time I get the same "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-gpu (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow-gpu" error
I tried installing using pip and anaconda, both don't work for me.
Found a solution, seems like Tensorflow doesn't support versions of python after 3.6.4. This is the version I'm currently using and it works.

Tensorflow or Tensorflow-gpu is supported only for 3.5.X versions of Python. Try installing with any Python 3.5.X version. This should fix your problem.

Here is what i did to get tensorflow working with windows.
Download python 3.7.0 (64 bit from Python Releases for Windows) Install it and check python version by running below command in cmd:
python --version
Python 3.7.0
Then run below command to upgrade pip to latest
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Now install tensorflow using pip
pip install tensorflow
That's it you have installed tensorflow on windows. Below image shows what happens when you type above commands
link for tensorflow for python 3x
https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/#files
tensorflow-1.14.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl (68.3 MB)

Unfortunately, tensorflow can't installed correctly on python 3.7 and last version of anaconda: so, the best and effective way to do this is to downgrade your python to python 3.6.7 use the next steps:
1- download the latest version of Anaconda
use Anaconda prompt with administrator privilege
2- conda install python=3.6.7 (need a long time)
3-conda install tensorflow
4- conda install keras
5- conda install numpy

Check whether you have a CPU or GPU, if your system doesn't have GPU, then it will generate error.
If you are going to install tensorflow using Windows command prompt (assuming python is already installed), then just run the following command. Go to the root directory, preferably 'C:' drive then run
For GPU- pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
For CPU- pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
If you are using Anaconda, then open Anaconda Navigator->Environments->Select 'All' from the drop down menu and then search TensorFlow. If you are using CPU, then select 'tensorflow', else for GPU select 'tensorflow-gpu'. Then click Apply.
Screenshot of Anaconda Navigator-In case you are not familiar where to look.

Download the latest version of anaconda from here
I'm using Anaconda 2019.03 for Windows Installer, Python 3.7, 64-bit
Upgrade pip as:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
(a). Install tensorflow using pip3 as:
pip3 install --user --upgrade tensorflow
(b). If you installed anaconda with all users mode. The above
command will become:
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
Check installation success as:
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random.normal([1000, 1000])))"

As of Feb 2020, Tensorflow is not supported for Python 3.8+
To make it work install a virtualenv w/ Python 3.7 from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

Tensorflow pip installation for python version 3.5-3.8 requires pip 19.0 or later, as mentioned in the official tensorflow documentation.
Here is a part of this documentation:
System requirements
Python 3.5–3.8
Python 3.8 support requires TensorFlow 2.2 or later.
pip 19.0 or later (requires manylinux2010 support)
Try running pip install --upgrade pip inside your python3 virtualenv.

You mentioned Anaconda. Do you run your python through there?
If so check in Anaconda Navigator --> Environments, if your current environment have got tensorflow installed.
If not, install tensorflow and run from that environment.
Should work.

I had the same problem that yours, happened that I had python at version 3.7. So for installing the Tensorflow with the GPU support I used:
py -3.6 -m pip install tensorflow-gpu
at a Virtualenv ambient. You can see the documentation behind on this website:
https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html
I think that this solution is better than downgrade the Python version.

Actually the easiest way to install tensorflow is:
install python 3.5 (not 3.6 or 3.7) you can check wich version you have by typing "python" in the cmd.
When you install it check in the options that you install pip with it and you add it to variables environnement.
When its done just go into the cmd and tipe "pip install tensorflow"
It will download tensorflow automatically.
If you want to check that it's been installed type "python" in the cmd then some that ">>>" will appear, then you write "import tensorflow" and if there's no error, you've done it!

As of November 2018, Tensorflow is not supported for Python 3.6.4+
What to do:
Downgrade Anaconda's Python from 3.7 or 3.6.5+ to 3.6.4
a. Open Command Prompt, find your Anaconda environment, and change your directory
where anaconda or where python
Example path and cd:
cd C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\bin
b. While in anaconda3/bin in your Command Prompt, source activate your base Anaconda environment
source activate
c. In your Command Prompt, downgrade your base Anaconda environment
conda install python=3.6.4
d. Install Tensorflow
pip install tensorflow
Further reading:
http://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/faq/#how-do-i-get-the-latest-anaconda-with-python-3-5

As of July 2019, I have installed it on python 3.7.3 using py -3 -m pip install tensorflow-gpu
py -3 in my installation selects the version 3.7.3.
The installation can also fail if the python installation is not 64 bit. Install a 64 bit version first.

This is Manas working as a intern in COE-AI lab(CET,BBSR) under tech machindra.
We faced same error. After a little research, we found that there is a glitch in anaconda python 3.7. It does not install tensorflow through pip or conda install command, even if it does..produces same error..
Here is the solution, install conda environment for python=3.6:
go to the directory where conda is installed
cd anaconda3
conda create -n tensorflow python=3.6
conda activate tensorflow
conda install tensorflow python=3.6
python
Import tensorflow.
steps
Do it twice:
enter image description here
enter image description here

-> Not able to install tensorflow , Here I have a solution that worked for me
Step 1 :
- Check version of python(3.7.3)
- Python must be 64 bit Otherwise tensorflow never ever going to be installed it defiitely gives Error.
Step 2 :
pip install tensorflow==2.0.0
Step 3 :
pip install sklearn==0.0
pip install Pillow==8.0.1
pip install h5py==2.10.0
Step 4 :
pip install keras==2.3.1
Now its ready to use.

In Windows 10 with Python 3.8.5, first i tried directly then it was giving following error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==1.15 (from versions: none)
Then i installed successfully in virtual environment shown below:
PS E:\udemy\full_stack_web_ai\deeplearning> .\myenv\Scripts\activate
(myenv) PS E:\udemy\full_stack_web_ai\deeplearning> pip install tensorflow
Collecting tensorflow ###
Downloading tensorflow-2.4.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl (370.7 MB)
Use virtual environment using:
python -m venv myenv
.\myenv\Scripts\activate

Not Enabling the Long Paths can be the potential problem.To solve that,
Steps include:
Go to Registry Editor on the Windows Laptop
Find the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"->"SYSTEM"->"CurrentControlSet"->
"File System"->"LongPathsEnabled" then double click on that option and change the value from 0 to 1.
3.Now try to install the tensorflow it will work.

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow

I installed the latest version of Python (3.6.4 64-bit) and the latest version of PyCharm (2017.3.3 64-bit). Then I installed some modules in PyCharm (Numpy, Pandas, etc), but when I tried installing Tensorflow it didn't install, and I got the error message:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement TensorFlow (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for TensorFlow.
Then I tried installing TensorFlow from the command prompt and I got the same error message.
I did however successfully install tflearn.
I also installed Python 2.7, but I got the same error message again. I googled the error and tried some of the things which were suggested to other people, but nothing worked (this included installing Flask).
How can I install Tensorflow? Thanks.

The latest requirements for running TensorFlow are documented in the installation documentation.
TensorFlow only supports 64-bit Python
TensorFlow only supports certain versions of Python (for example, Python 3.6 is not supported)
So, if you're using an out-of-range version of Python (older or newer) or a 32-bit version, then you'll need to use a different version.

I installed it successfully by pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.8.0-py3-none-any.whl

There are a few important rules to install Tensorflow:
You have to install Python x64. It doesn't work with x86/32b and it gives the same error as yours.
Python versions later than 3.8 and Python 3.8 requires TensorFlow 2.2 or later. Check for supported Python versions.
For example, for TensorFlow 2.9, you can install Python3.8.6-64bit and it works like a charm. Check the latest information on the website.

if you are using anaconda, python 3.7 is installed by default, so you have to downgrade it to 3.6:
conda install python=3.6
then:
pip install tensorflow
it worked for me in Ubuntu.

I am giving it for Windows
If you are using python-3
Upgrade pip to the latest version using py -m pip install --upgrade pip
Install package using py -m pip install <package-name>
If you are using python-2
Upgrade pip to the latest version using py -2 -m pip install --upgrade pip
Install package using py -2 -m pip install <package-name>
It worked for me

Tensorflow 2.2.0 supports Python3.8
First, make sure to install Python 3.8 64bit. For some reason, the official site defaults to 32bit. Verify this using python -VV (two capital V, not W). Then continue as usual:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install wheel # not necessary
python -m pip install tensorflow
As usual, make sure you have CUDA 10.1 and CuDNN installed.

Tensorflow isn't available for python 3.8 (as of Dec 4th 2019) according to their documentation page. You will have to downgrade to python 3.7.

I am using python 3.6.8, on ubunu 18.04, for me the solution was to just upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install tensorflow==2.1.0

Uninstalling Python and then reinstalling solved my issue and I was able to successfully install TensorFlow.

Python version is not supported
Uninstall python
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-362/
You should check and use the exact version in install page.
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows
python 3.6.2 or python 3.5.2 solved this issue for me

So here's the message that I got on a M1 Pro while I was executing
python -m pip install tensorflow-macos
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow
I then re-installed python from the official source:
https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/
(Yes, as stupid as it seems.)
I then followed the Apple tutorial for Monterey:
https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/
Everything was solved by then.

(as of Jan 1st, 2021)
Any over version 3.9.x there is no support for TensorFlow 2. If you are installing packages via pip with 3.9, you simply get a "package doesn't exist" message. After reverting to the latest 3.8.x. Thought I would drop this here, I will update when 3.9.x is working with Tensorflow 2.x

Apple Silicon (M1+ Chip)
If you are using a Mac with an M1 chip or higher, you need to install Tensorflow metal plugin for compatability with your architecture.
Simple installation instructions for Tensor Flow are found on Apple's website: https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin

Looks like the problem is with Python 3.8. Use Python 3.7 instead. Steps I took to solve this.
Created a python 3.7 environment with conda
List item Installed rasa using pip install rasa within the environment.
Worked for me.

Running this before the tensorflow installation solved it for me:
pip install "pip>=19"
As the tensorflow's system requirements states:
pip 19.0 or later

For version TensorFlow 2.2:
Make sure you have python 3.8
try:
python --version
or
python3 --version
or
py --version
Upgrade the pip of the python which has version 3.8
try:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
or
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
or
py -m pip install --upgrade pip
Install TensorFlow:
try:
python3 -m pip install TensorFlow
or python -m pip install TensorFlow
or py -m pip install TensorFlow
Make sure to run the file with the correct python:
try:
python3 file.py
or python file.py
or py file.py

1.Go to https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip website and look if the version you are using support the Tensorflow. some latest version does not support Tesnsorflow. until Tensorflow releases its latest version for that Python version.
you must have 64 bit python installed
have latest version of pip installed
pip install --upgrade pip

using pip install tensorflow --user did it for me

I had this problem on my macOS (with M1 Pro) even with the latest 64-bit Python and the latest pip installed. This is how I've solved it. Try to run:
pip install tensorflow-macos
If you will get the error ending like this (like I did)...
...
raise ReadTimeoutError(self._pool, None, "Read timed out.")
pip._vendor.urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='files.pythonhosted.org', port=443): Read timed out.
...then simply run:
pip install --default-timeout=100 tensorflow-macos

Tensorflow seems to need special versions of tools and libs.
Pip only takes care of python version.
To handle this in a professional way (means it save tremendos time for me and others)
you have to set a special environment for each software like this.
An advanced tool for this is conda.
I installed Tensorflow with this commands:
sudo apt install python3
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install curl
curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh > Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
yes
source ~/.bashrc
installs its own phyton etc
nano .bashrc
maybe insert here your proxies etc.
conda create --name your_name python=3
conda activate your_name
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow
check everything went well
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; tf.enable_eager_execution(); print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random_normal([1000, 1000])))"
PS: some commands that may be helpful
conda search tensorflow
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip
uses virtualenv. Conda is more capable. Miniconda ist sufficient; the full conda
is not necessary

use python version 3.6 or 3.7 but the important thing is you should install the python version of 64-bit.

In case you are using Docker, make sure you have
FROM python:x.y.z
instead of
FROM python:x.y.z-alpine.

This issue also happens with other libraries such as matplotlib(which doesn't support Python > 3.9 for some functions) let's just use COLAB.

Slightly different issue for me but I will still post an answer here. tensorflow package is working, but not tflite-runtime.
pip install --extra-index-url https://google-coral.github.io/py-repo/ tflite-runtime==2.5.0

I solved the same problem with python 3.7 by installing one by one all the packages required
Here are the steps:
Install the package
See the error message:
couldn't find a version that satisfies the requirement -- the name of the module required
Install the module required.
Very often, installation of the required module requires the installation of another module, and another module - a couple of the others and so on.
This way I installed more than 30 packages and it helped. Now I have tensorflow of the latest version in Python 3.7 and didn't have to downgrade the kernel.

Tensorflow r1.0 : could not a find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow

I want to install Tensorflow 1.o for python on windows.
This is information for my system.
D:\>python --version
Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda 4.2.0 (32-bit)
D:\>pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from d:\web\anaconda\lib\site-packages (python 3.5)'
But, when I execute below command,
D:\>pip3 install tensorflow
Collecting tensorflow
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow
I don't understand what the problem is...
And I tried another way...
This is case when I use Conda
(tensorflow) D:\>pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-cp35-cp35m-win_x86_64.whl
tensorflow-1.0.0-cp35-cp35m-win_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
What is the problem?

I was in same problem.
Below command solved my problem
pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
to find the list of all the urls based on the python version and CPU or GPU only refer to:
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip

Tensorflow requires a 64-bit version of Python.
Additionally, it only supports Python 3.5.x through Python 3.8.x.
If you're using a 32-bit version of Python or a version that's too old or new, then you'll get that error message.
To fix it, you can install the 64-bit version of Python 3.8.6 via Python's website.

Tensorflow on windows needs python 3.5. You can follow following steps to activate python 3.5 in anaconda:
See which version of python you have: conda search python
If you already have python 3.5 then go to step 3
otherwise use conda create -n py35 python=3.5 anaconda to create python 3.5
Activate python 3.5 using activate py35
Now install tensorflow using conda install tensorflow
If step4 is not working i.e, something like "tensorflow: no package found " then follow this tutorial to forge conda-forge channel and then try installing tensorflow using step4. It worked for me.

Try this
Installing with Anaconda
conda create --name tensorflow python=3.5
activate tensorflow
conda install jupyter
conda install scipy
pip install tensorflow
or
pip install tensorflow-gpu
It is important to add python=3.5 at the end of the first line, because it will install Python 3.5.

I was getting the same error
Get Python 3.5
Upgrade pip version to 9
Install tensorflow
It worked for me

I did it with:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade tensorflow

From your python version output, looks like that you are using Anaconda python, in that case, there is a simple way to install tensorflow.
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow
This command will take care of all dependencies like upgrade/downgrade etc.

upgrading pip worked for me
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

i had python 3.8.5 ..but it will not work with tenserflow..
so i installed python 3.7.9 and it worked.

The solution for me was sooo dumb!!
I was using Python 3.8 in my environment. I made a new environment using Python 3.7, and the install worked fine.
source

The TensorFlow package couldn't be found by the latest version of the "pip".
To be honest, I really don't know why this is...
but, the quick fix that worked out for me was:
[In case you are using a virtual environment]
downgrade the virtual environment to python-3.8.x and pip-20.2.x
In case of anaconda, try:
conda install python=3.8
This should install the latest version of python-3.8 and pip-20.2.x for you.
And then, try
pip install tensorflow
Again, this worked fine for me, not sure if it'll work the same for you.

The Reason is that TensorFlow is only available upto python versions <= 3.6. You can't download tensorflow for python versions > 3.6 as there is no tensorflow.
If you don't want to downgrade your entire python version for a single package, do this:
create a new virtual environment for that project (using anaconda)
conda create -n <env_name> python=3.6.8
activate the created environment using conda activate <env_name>
Now install pip install tensorflow
note: If tensorflow dosen't install : try install keras module first and then try installing tensorflow
