Installing TensorFlow on MacOS Sierra

I can’t remember every steps but I need to leave some notes that I can refer to later 🙂 I just put everything I can remember here 🙂

The directory:

cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/bin
source activate tensorflow

code example to test

>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> hello = tf.constant(‘Hello, TensorFlow!’)
>>> sess = tf.Session()
>>> print sess.run(hello)
Hello, TensorFlow!
>>> a = tf.constant(10)
>>> b = tf.constant(32)
>>> print sess.run(a+b)
42
>>> quit()
(tensorflow) CG-MacBook-Pro-2:bin Marisa$ deactivate

Activating virtualenv

$ cd /path/to/tensorflow/bin
$ source activate tensorflow
$ python
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> print(tf.__version__)
1.0.1

The journey:

Downloading TensorFlow

Install and update

Removing Anaconda

tensorflow library couldn’t be recognized. Installing gpu version

installing for python 2.7

reinstalling python and fixing the PATH

installing virtualenv

installing tensorflow on virtualenv

tensorflow had been successfully installed on virtualenv

tensorflow library still not recognized

finally figure out how to activate the virtualenv

library recognized but there were errors!

reinstall tensorflow to the activated virtualenv, and it worked!

YES!!! 🙂 Now I’m ready to explore! 😉
