To install Tensorflow we recommend the following steps from Tensorflow’s site:

1. Follow the instructions on the Anaconda download site to download and install Anaconda.
2. Create a conda environment named tensorflow by invoking the following command:

   C:> conda create -n tensorflow pip python=3.5
   

3. Activate the conda environment by issuing the following command:

   C:> activate tensorflow
    (tensorflow)C:>  # Your prompt should change
   

4. Issue the appropriate command to install TensorFlow inside your conda environment. To install the CPU-only version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:

   (tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow
   

   To install the GPU version of TensorFlow, enter the following command (on a single line):

   (tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
   

Validate your TensorFlow installation

Start a terminal.

If you installed through Anaconda, activate your Anaconda environment.

Invoke python from your shell as follows:

$ python

Enter the following short program inside the python interactive shell:

>>> import tensorflow as tf>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')>>> sess = tf.Session()>>> print(sess.run(hello))

If the system outputs the following, then you are ready to begin writing TensorFlow programs:

Hello, TensorFlow!
