Whenever I try to install TensorFlow with pip on Python 3.8, I get the error that TensorFlow is not found. I have realized later on that it is not supported by Python 3.8.

How can I install TensorFlow on Python 3.8?

As of May 7, 2020, according to Tensorflow's Installation page with pip, Python 3.8 is now supported. Python 3.8 support requires TensorFlow 2.2 or later.

You should be able to install it normally via pip.

Prior to May 2020:

As you mentioned, it is currently not supported by Python 3.8, but is by Python 3.7.

You want to have virtualenv installed. You also need Python 3.7. Then you can just start a virtualenv with -p python3.7 and install it using pip like you did before:

virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3.7 DEST_DIR

source ./DEST_DIR/bin/activate

pip install --upgrade pip

pip install --upgrade tensorflow
