Installing TensorFlow on Windows 10

Steps of Installing TensorFlow on Windows 10

TensorFlow programming language runs on 64 bit of Windows operating system and in this tutorial I will teach you to install it on Windows 10 operating system. You should have 64 Bit of Windows 10 operating system for installing TensorFlow deep learning software.

TensorFlow is deep learning framework from Google and good news it that the software is open source. TensorFlow is written in C++ programming language and available for Windows, Linux and Mac.

TensorFlow only supports 64-bit Python 3.5.x on Windows. Python 3.5.x comes with the pip3 package manager, which is necessary to install and use TensorFlow on Windows.

Visit: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/ and then click the link "Windows x86 executable installer" or may also download "Windows x86-64 executable installer".

We have downloaded "Windows x86 executable installer" https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/python-3.5.2.exe

After download install it.

Then open command prompt.

Check python version by typing:

python --version

Now close command prompt.

Then command prompt as administrator.

Then type:

pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

to install TensorFlow on your Windows 10 box.

Here is the log of installation process:

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

You should also install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 if it is not installed on your computer.

Testing tensorflow. Open command prompt and then type:

python

then run following code:

import tensorflow as tf

# Initialize two constants
x1 = tf.constant([1,2])
x2 = tf.constant([5,6])

# Multiply
result = tf.multiply(x1, x2)

# Print the result
print(result)

In this tutorial we learned to install TensorFlow on Windows 10 operating system.
