Tensorflow installation error not a supported wheel on this platform

Question

when I try to install tensorflow by cloning from git  I run into the error  no module named copyreg   so I tried installing using a virtualenv  However  I then run into this error   pip install https   storage googleapis com tensorflow mac tensorflow-0 5 0-py2-none-any whl  tensorflow-0 5 0-py2-none-any whl is not a supported wheel on this platform    I don t see this under the common problems section  so any help would be appreciated  Thank you

I faced the same issue and tried all the solutions that folks suggested here and other links (like https://askubuntu.com/questions/695981/platform-not-supported-for-tensorflow-on-ubuntu-14-04-2).

It was so frustrating because using print(wheel.pep425tags.get_supported()) I could see that my ubuntu supported ('cp37', 'cp37m', 'linux_x86_64') and that was exactly what I was trying to install (from https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.14.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl).

What at the end fixed it was to simply download the package first and then

pip install tensorflow-1.14.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl

After activating the virtualenv  be sure to upgrade pip to the latest version    your virtual env    pip install --upgrade pip   And now you ll be able to install tensor-flow correctly  for linux     your virtual env    pip install --upgrade https   storage googleapis com tensorflow linux cpu tensorflow-0 7 0-py2-none-linux x86 64 whl

Make sure that the wheel is  well  supported by your platform  Pip uses the wheel s filename to determine compatibility  The format is   tensorflow- version - python version -none- your platform  whl   I didn t realize that x86 64 refers to x64  I thought it meant either x86 or x64  so I banged my head against this futilely for some time  Tensorflow is not available for 32 bit systems  unless you want to compile it yourself

I was trying to install from source  and got that error   Why would a wheel built on this machine not be compatible with it-    For me  the tag --ignore-installed made all the difference   pip install --ignore-installed  tmp tensorflow pkg tensorflow-1 8 0-cp36-cp36m-linux x86 64 whl   worked  while  pip install  tmp tensorflow pkg tensorflow-1 8 0-cp36-cp36m-linux x86 64 whl    threw the abovementioned error   Context  Conda environment  might have been a problem specific to this

For Windows 10 64bit  I have tried all the suggestions here  but finally got it running as follows   Uninstall all current versions of Python Remove all Python references in the PATH system and user Environment variables Download the latest 64bit version of Python 3 8  Python 3 8 7 currently  NOT the latest 3 9 x version which is the one I was using  and NOT 32bit  Install with all options selected  including pip  and including PATH Environment variable pip install tensorflow  in Admin CMD prompt  Upgrade pip if prompted  optional

I was trying to do the windows-based install and kept getting this error    Turns out you have to have python 3 5 2  Not 2 7  not 3 6 x-- nothing other than 3 5 2    After installing python 3 5 2 the pip install worked

On Windows 10  with Python 3 6 X version I was facing same then after checking deliberately   I noticed I had Python-32 bit installation on my 64 bit machine  Remember TensorFlow is only compatible with 64bit installation of python  Not 32 bit of Python    If we download Python from python org   the default installation would be 32 bit  So we have to download 64 bit installer manually to install Python 64 bit  And then add    C  Users  AppData Local Programs Python Python36 C  Users  AppData Local Programs Python Python36 Scripts   Then run gpupdate  Force on command prompt  If python command doesnt work for 64 bit restart your machine   Then run python on command prompt  It should show 64 bit  C  Users YOURNAME gt python Python 3 6 3  v3 6 3 2c5fed8  Oct  3 2017  18 11 49   MSC v 1900 64 bit  AMD64   on win32 Type  help    copyright    credits  or  license  for more information    Then run below command to install tensorflow CPU version recommended    pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

This may mean that you are installing the wrong pre-build binary  since my CPU on Ubuntu 18 04 my download url was  https   github com lakshayg tensorflow-build releases download tf1 12 0-ubuntu18 04-py2-py3 tensorflow-1 12 0-cp36-cp36m-linux x86 64 whl  as it can be found on this github page  https   github com lakshayg tensorflow-build  pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade  lt LOCAL PATH   BINARY-URL gt    resolved the issue for me

The pip wheel contains the python version in its name  cp34-cp34m   If you download the whl file and rename it to say py3-none or instead  it should work  Can you try that    The installation won t work for anaconda users that choose python 3 support because the installation procedure is asking to create a python 3 5 environment and the file is currently called cp34-cp34m  So renaming it would do the job for now   sudo pip3 install --upgrade https   storage googleapis com tensorflow linux gpu tensorflow-0 7 0-cp34-cp34m-linux x86 64 whl   This will produced the exact error message you got above  However  when you will downloaded the file yourself and rename it to  tensorflow-0 7 0-py3-none-linux x86 64 whl   then execute the command again with changed filename  it should work fine

I was trying to install CPU TF on Ubuntu 18 04  and the best way  for me     I found for it was using it on top of Conda  for that   To create Conda    tensorflow    env  Follow https   linuxize com post how-to-install-anaconda-on-ubuntu-18-04   After all installed see https   conda io projects conda en latest user-guide getting-started html And use it according to https   docs conda io projects conda en latest user-guide tasks manage-environments html managing-environments  conda create --name tensorflow  source  activate tensorflow  pip install --upgrade pip  pip uninstall tensorflow  For CPU  pip install tensorflow-cpu  for GPU  pip install tensorflow  pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow  Test TF E g  on  Where  with     python  import tensorflow as tf     tf where   True  False    False  True       expected result   lt tf Tensor  shape  2  2   dtype int64  numpy  array   0  0           1  1    gt    After Conda upgrade I got  DeprecationWarning   source deactivate  is deprecated  Use  conda deactivate    So you should use     conda activate tensorflow         conda deactivate

Seems that tensorflow only work on python 3 5 at the moment  try to run this command before running the pip install  conda create --name tensorflow python 3 5   After this running the following lines    For cpu    pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https   storage googleapis com tensorflow windows cpu tensorflow-1 1 0-cp35-cp35m-win amd64 whl   For gpu     pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https   storage googleapis com tensorflow windows gpu tensorflow gpu-1 1 0-cp35-cp35m-win amd64 whl   Should work like a charm   Cheers

I too got the same problem I downloaded get-pip py from https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py  and then ran python2 7 get-pip py for installing pip2 7  and then ran the pip install command with python2 7 as follows  For Ubuntu Linux   python2 7 -m pip install https   storage googleapis com tensorflow linux cpu tensorflow-0 5 0-cp27-none-linux x86 64 whl   For Mac OS X   python2 7 -m pip install https   storage googleapis com tensorflow mac tensorflow-0 5 0-py2-none-any whl   this should work just fine as it did for me     I followed these instructions from here

It means that the version of your default python  python -V  and the version of your default pip  pip -V  do not match  You have built tensorflow with your default python and trying to use a different pip version to install it  In mac  delete  usr local bin pip and rename copy  pipx y  whatever x y version that matches your python version  to pip in that folder

actually  you can use Python 3 5   I successfully solved this problem with Python 3 5 3   Modify python version to 3 5  in conda  see https   conda io docs py2or3 html   then go to https   www tensorflow org install install windows  and repeat from  Create a conda environment named tensorflow by invoking the following command  BLA BLA
