Guide to Install TensorFlow

This is a installation guide for Windows (tested only on Windows 10) using pip

1. Get Python 3.4-3.7 64-bit only

2. Add to PATH

3. Get pip (comes with Python installation)

4. (Optional)

   pip install virtualenv

5. pip install --upgrade tensorflow

6. Test with

   python -c "import tensorflow as tf;print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random.normal([1000, 1000])))"

   If you get a lot of not located warnings but get

   tf.Tensor(-1565.4648, shape=(), dtype=float32)

   Then it is a success

7. (Optional speedup for Nvidia Graphics cards GT 430 or GTX 465 or 410M or higher;

   See full list @ link)

   • The latest NVIDIA® GPU drivers

   • The CUDA® Toolkit

   • The cuDNN SDK (Requires a Nvidia Account)

   • Add to PATH the following (Note, must be v10.1 as of 1/12/20, otherwise check the documentation in the link here)

     • C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.1\bin

     • C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.1\extras\CUPTI\libx64

     • C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.1\include

     • Where ever you unziped the cuDNN SDK's bin directory. i.e.

       ​ C:\tools\cuda\bin

8. Repeat step 6 but you should see a bunch of successes and

   tf.Tensor(-1565.4648, shape=(), dtype=float32)
