installation of tensorflow causes timeout

Question

I can't seem to install tensorflow libraries.

here's what I put in the terminal:

pip install tensorflow

and this is the output:

    raise ReadTimeoutError(self._pool, None, "Read timed out.")
pip._vendor.urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='files.pythonhosted.org', port=443): Read timed out.

it says that it timed out and I don't know how to solve that problem, I don't have a powerful computer but I was hoping that installing the module would be the least of my problems when delving into machine learning. currently using python 3.7

Probably you have a weak internet connection, not depends on your computers performance, try this;

pip --default-timeout=5000 install tensorflow
