Force Anaconda to install tensorflow 1.14

Question

Now, the official TensorFlow on Anaconda is 2.0. My question is how to force Anaconda to install an earlier version of TensorFlow instead. So, for example, I would like Anaconda to install TensorFlow 1.14 as plenty of my projects are depending on this version.

Answer 1

You can force installing a certain version of any package found on Anaconda using simply an = operator with the package version attached to it.

So, if you want to install tensorflow 1.14, you can run the following command:

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow=1.14

You can replace 1.14 with any other versions. To see the available versions of tensorflow on Anaconda, you can run:

conda search tensorflow

Answer 2

first find the python version of tensorflow==1.14.0, then find the Anaconda version by python version.

e.g. tensorflow 1.14.0 can work well on python36, and Anaconda 3.5.1 has python36. So install the Anaconda 3.5.1, then install tensorflow==1.14.0 by pip
