Question

Please help me with this error

I have installed the tensorflow module on my server and below is it's information

15IT60R19@cpusrv-gpu-109:~$ pip show tensorflow Name: tensorflow Version: 1.0.0 Summary: TensorFlow helps the tensors flow Home-page: http://tensorflow.org/ Author: Google Inc. Author-email: [email protected] License: Apache 2.0 Location: /home/other/15IT60R19/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages Requires: mock, numpy, protobuf, wheel, six 

But when I try to import tensorflow I get following error

>>> import tensorflow as tf Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named tensorflow 

My python version is as following

I do not have sudo access to the server I can only use pip to install any module

Answer 1

Try installing tensorflow again with the whatever version you want and with option --ignore-installed like:

pip install tensorflow==1.2.0 --ignore-installed 

I solved same issue using this command.

Answer 2

I had a more basic problem when I received this error.

The "Validate your installation" instructions say to type: python

However, I have both 2.7 and 3.6 installed. Because I used pip3 to install tensorflow, I needed to type: python3

Using the correct version, I could import the "tensorflow" module.
