I tried to run tensorflow on Jupiter netbook, python 2.7 but I realized it requiered 3.6 pythong version so I followed this steps :

Installing with Anaconda

Create a conda environment named tensorflow by invoking the following command:

C:> conda create -n tensorflow pip python=3.5

Activate the conda environment by issuing the following command:

C:> activate tensorflow

(tensorflow)C:> # Your prompt should change Issue the appropriate command to install TensorFlow inside your conda environment. To install the CPU-only version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:

(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

To install the GPU version of TensorFlow, enter the following command (on a single line):

(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow-gpu

**

  • But this line of code

** 

(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

Show me the this error:

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\Users\idan\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda2\envs\tensorflow\Lib\site-packages\numpy\.libs\libopenblas.BNVRK7633HSX7YVO2TADGR4A5KEKXJAW.gfortran-win_amd64.dll' Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.

I tried to change user permission and also open anaconda cmd as administrator but it doesn't help.

This answer has the necessary information for the pip permission error. It can be resolved with the --user flag, which is a conservative approach.

There is another way to install tensorflow for conda-environment. Write below on the Anaconda Command Prompt after activating environment.

conda install tensorflow

Test it :

python import tensorflow as tf

And it should work.
