I'm trying to setup keras
deep learning library for Python3.5
on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and use Tensorflow
as a backend. I have Python2.7
and Python3.5
installed. I have installed Anaconda
and with help of it Tensorflow
, numpy
, scipy
, pyyaml
. Afterwards I have installed keras
with command
sudo python setup.py install
Although I can see /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/Keras-1.1.0-py3.5.egg
directory, I cannot use keras
library. When I try to import it in python it says
ImportError: No module named 'keras'
I have tried to install keras
usingpip3
, but got the same result.
What am I doing wrong? Any Ideas?
Conclusion – This error (no module named keras) occurs only when either keras is not installed or its path is not properly set.
Installation & compatibility To start using Keras, simply install TensorFlow 2. Keras/TensorFlow are compatible with: Python 3.7–3.10.
Ran to the same issue, Assuming your using anaconda3 and your using a venv
with >= python=3.6
:
python -m pip install keras sudo python -m pip install --user tensorflow
If you have pip
installed (you should have it until you use Python 3.5), list the installed Python packages, like this:
$ pip list | grep -i keras Keras (1.1.0)
If you don’t see Keras, it means that the previous installation failed or is incomplete (this lib has this dependancies: numpy (1.11.2), PyYAML (3.12), scipy (0.18.1), six (1.10.0), and Theano (0.8.2).)
Consult the pip.log
to see what’s wrong.
You can also display your Python path like this:
$ python3 -c 'import sys, pprint; pprint.pprint(sys.path)' ['', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python35.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/plat-darwin', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages']
Make sure the Keras library appears in the /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages
path (the path is different on Ubuntu).
If not, try do uninstall it, and retry installation:
$ pip uninstall Keras
It’s a bad idea to use and pollute your system-wide Python. I recommend using a virtualenv (see this guide).
The best usage is to create a virtualenv
directory (in your home, for instance), and store your virtualenvs in:
cd virtualenv/ virtualenv -p python3.5 py-keras source py-keras/bin/activate pip install -q -U pip setuptools wheel
Then install Keras:
pip install keras
You get:
$ pip list Keras (1.1.0) numpy (1.11.2) pip (8.1.2) PyYAML (3.12) scipy (0.18.1) setuptools (28.3.0) six (1.10.0) Theano (0.8.2) wheel (0.30.0a0)
But, you also need to install extra libraries, like Tensorflow:
$ python -c "import keras" Using TensorFlow backend. Traceback (most recent call last): ... ImportError: No module named 'tensorflow'
