I am struggling to install tensorflow on MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 with M1 Chip
pip3 install tensorflow-macos
pip3 install tensorflow-metal
I keep getting this error: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python (from versions: none)
I tried venv, I tried miniconda, anaconda, still same issue.
How can I install tensorflow in M1 MacOS ?
You can follow installation instructions from the apple developer website.
With conda first, you need to install tensorflow-deps with:
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
then
python -m pip install tensorflow-macOS
python -m pip install tensorflow-metal
This is the procedure recommended by apple, so if you haven't installed "tensorflow-deps", first try that.
Also this is suggested for your problem in the same webpage:
Error: “Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement
tensorflow-macos (from versions: none).” A TensorFlow installation
wheel that matches the current Python environment couldn’t be found by
the package manager. Check that the Python version used in the
environment is supported (Python 3.8, Python 3.9, Python 3.10).
So try using the mentioned Python versions.
Also, here is the long thread of people facing different issues with TensorFlow on mac, which helped me a lot.
brew install python#3.8
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python#3.8/3.8.16/bin/python3.8 -m venv ~/TF
source ~/TF/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install tensorflow-macos
This is my cmd with the error.
C:\Users>pip install tensorflow
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement
tensorflow (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow
what should I do?
You have a 32-bit build of Python. Three is no 32-bit build of tensorflow, so it is not available. Install the 64 bit build of Python and use that. Then tensorflow will install.
Try this
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install tensorflow
Firstly, install the x64 version of Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ followed by upgrading your pip version.
You can issue the command: python -m pip install --upgrade pip to upgrade your pip version (If not already in the latest version). At the time of writing this comment, the latest version of pip is 21.2.4.
Next install TensorFlow by issuing the command: python -m pip install tensorflow.
If the error still persists, then uninstall TensorFlow using command: python -m pip uninstall tensorflow.
Clear the temp files on the PC. Press CTRL+R and type "temp", delete all the files. Then Press CTRL+R and type "%temp%", deleting all the files.
Finally restart your PC/Laptop.
Install Tensorflow using the command: python -m pip install tensorflow.
Now, Tensorflow should be installed successfully.
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
(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
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.
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.
I am trying to get the installation right with python 3, pip and pip3. I am working on a mac and by default. I have Python 2.7.10
python -V
Python 2.7.10
python3 -V
Python 3.5.1
What is the correct order of installation commands to install python3 pip and pip3 so that both pip and pip3 can be linked to python3?
This what I get when I try to see what versions I already have:
$ pip -V
-bash: /usr/local/bin/pip: No such file or directory
$ pip3 -V
pip 7.1.2 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)
I need to get this right so that I can install numpy afterward because now with what I have above this is what I get:
$ pip3 install numpy
Collecting numpy
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement numpy (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for numpy
I have Solved it. as #keithpjolley suggested. I installed anaconda, launched it, and I used the command:
conda install numpy
I let it solve the environment. It gave me an older version of numpy at first so I upgraded:
conda install numpy=1.13
Now everything is working with my code.
While installing Turicreate using pip on my macOS it gave me an error,
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement turicreate (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for turicreate
I did the following steps:
conda create -n venv python=2.7 anaconda
source activate venv
pip install -U turicreate
pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in ./anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages
Although you create your venv virtual environment with python=2.7, the message you get when trying to upgrade pip indicates that you are running it in Python 3.5; the path
./anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages
clearly refers to the base Anaconda installation, and not to your venv virtual environment.
Given that, the error message you get is not unexpected, since Turicreate is not yet available for Python 3.5:
