I am trying to install tensorflow in Windows 7 ultimate
Python --verion return

Tensorflow version is 0.12.0

I dont have Anaconda or conda environment installed on PC.

Project requirements prevent me going to colab/kaggle enviroments

I have path to all the requesite dll’s in the PATH env variable

Error importing tensorflow. Unless you are using bazel,
you should not try to import tensorflow from its source directory;

I have tried solutions mentioned at following urls:-

Any leads on how to solve this problem?

Thanking You

Hi @sun_foru TensorFlow 0.12.0 supports python 3.5. For reference please refer to this link.Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you @Kiran_Sai_Ramineni for reply.

I have tried upgrading the existing tensorflow using pip. I get following error:-

Hi @sun_foru are you installing TensorFlow 2.8 or TensorFlow 0.12.0 can you please confirm. And can you please provide some details like in which environment you are installing the TensorFlow.Thanks.

sun_foru · April 19, 2022, 11:28am

Hi @Kiran_Sai_Ramineni ,

My overall environment is

Window :7 Ultimate Edition
Python : 3.7.0

As shown in the previous posts, I had installed TensorFlow 0.12.0. But as you said that the support for this version(0.12.0) is not available for the python 3.7.0. I have now uninstalled 0.12.0 version of tensorflow. I now executed below command within virtualenv
__VIRTUAL_PROMPT__C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\v
irtualenv>pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/c
pu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

The installation of this Tensorflow 1.0.0 is successful.

But still within jupyter environment I am getting error message as below

Hi @sun_foru as mentioned in the TensorFlow official documentation TensorFlow 1.0.0 supports python 3.5 . Please refer to the installation guide for more information here.Thanks.

sun_foru · May 10, 2022, 9:13am

Hi,

i did the following and installation was successful(apparently) it seems:

Installed Python 3.7 (64 bit)
Ran pip from python/scripts as:

pip install tensorflow

After this in jupyter following code is successfully running without errors.

import tensorflow as tf

However, after this i am facing error while verifying TensorFlow version.


import tensorflow as tf
print("TensorFlow version:", tf.__version__)

<ipython-input-3-9e8c16b8a701> in <module>
      1 import tensorflow as tf
----> 2 print("TensorFlow version:", tf.__version__)

AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute '__version__'

Does this mean that installation is not successfull or perhaps it is broken?

I have seen solution here but to no avail.

Having multiple python versions can they create any conflicts preventing TensorFlow to run properly ?
