(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade pip # for Python 3.n

(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow      # for Python 2.7
(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow     # for Python 3.n
(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu  # for Python 2.7 and GPU
(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu # for Python 3.n and GPU

Answer 2

To upgrade any python package, use pip install <pkg_name> --upgrade.

So in your case it would be pip install tensorflow --upgrade. Just updated to 1.1.0

Answer 3

This is official recommendation for upgrading Tensorflow.

To get TensorFlow 1.5, you can use the standard pip installation (or pip3 if you use python3)

$  pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow
