Can't install on El Capitan - probably python again :(

Hey ne0shell: we require a newer version of six than the one default installed on Macs. Take a look at https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/get_started/os_setup.md#on-macosx- for some info on how you might get around this issue and please let me know if your problems are addressed :)

[royxue]

@ne0shell
I think this is because you are still using the python pre installed in mac. And pip dont have enough permission to install six in that site package.

I suggest you try to install a new python on your mac instead of using the pre installed one

[craigcitro]

Or do sudo easy_install -U six to upgrade the system-wide version of six.

[ne0shell]

Updating six did not solve the issue:

I ran into the same sort of errors trying to install this on my CentOS 6.5 dev server here at the house, same file /folder not found issues with pip.

[craigcitro]

Actually, if you compare the tracebacks, this is progress: six isn't an issue, and now you're hitting issues trying to uninstall numpy.

If you want to do a global install, you'll probably need to do a sudo pip install ....

[M2shad0w]

@ne0shell you should run command
pip install --ignore-installed six
sudo -H pip install ~/Downloads/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl(the path of tensorflow ... whl) --ignore-installed six

[rogerchinchilla]

^^ this worked after I got the numpy error
sudo -H pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl --ignore-installed six

[craigcitro]

Yeah, I think the sudo bit was the key here -- I suspect just adding sudo in the initial install would have worked.

In any event, happy it's working -- closing for now, reopen if you hit trouble.

[ne0shell]

Uhh, not sure why this was closed, while I'm glad a replier was able to get past the issue that fix did not work for me -

[craigcitro]

Sorry, I was looking at too many issues at once.

That said, it looks like you're up and running?

[ne0shell]

Yes, the solution worked once I included the cut off bit of the command (--ignore-installed six)

My fault for being lazy and doing the copy and paste terminal commands from web (pretty risky anyway)

Thanks everyone for the help, looks like a fairly universal issue with El Capitan though.

[ne0shell]

closing issue, hope it helps other El C users ;)
