ImportError: No module named tensorflow

Question

Please help me with this error

I have installed the tensorflow module on my server and below is it's information

15IT60R19@cpusrv-gpu-109:~$ pip show tensorflow
Name: tensorflow
Version: 1.0.0
Summary: TensorFlow helps the tensors flow

Location: /home/other/15IT60R19/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages

But when I try to import tensorflow I get following error

>>> import tensorflow as tf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named tensorflow

My python version is as following

Python 2.7.12 |Anaconda 2.5.0 (64-bit)| (default, Jul  2 2016, 17:42:40)

I have tried the solutions given in sol1

Sol2

I do not have sudo access to the server I can only use pip to install any module

Solution 1

Try installing tensorflow again with the whatever version you want and with option --ignore-installed like:

pip install tensorflow==1.2.0 --ignore-installed

I solved same issue using this command.

Solution 2

I had a more basic problem when I received this error.

The "Validate your installation" instructions say to type: python

However, I have both 2.7 and 3.6 installed. Because I used pip3 to install tensorflow, I needed to type: python3

Using the correct version, I could import the "tensorflow" module.

Solution 3

Check if Tensorflow was installed successfully using:

 pip3 show tensorflow

If you get something like

Name: tensorflow
Version: 1.2.1
Summary: TensorFlow helps the tensors flow

You may try adding the path of your tensorflow location by:

export PYTHONPATH=/your/tensorflow/path:$PYTHONPATH.

Solution 4

For Anaconda3, simply install in Anaconda Navigator:

Solution 5

Try installing tensorflow in the user site - This installation only works for you.

pip install tensorflow --user

[Tamas Ionut]

Installation of tensorflow works perfectly with Anaconda Navigator.

[Schütze]

It still says ImportError: No module named tensorflow

[zhangjiangtao]

Adding the path can be help for me.

[Arthur Attout]

I tried it and it yielded Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for tensorflow

[Dharma]

I think you can try newer versions then. You can uninstall the previous one and do fresh install instead.

[Ajp]

This did it for me on Python 3.6

[Adrien Pavao]

Just use pip3 install instead of pip install.

[Amogh Mishra]

I had the same issue and it got resolved with this pip install tensorflow --ignore-installed --user

[Woden]

I use @AmoghMishra's method and add the path in the environmental variables and it works!
