#Python – Can’t install TensorFlow on Anaconda, maybe is the Visual Studio distribution

Hi!

This is the 2^nd time I get a weird error when I install TensorFlow in my Anaconda distribution. And this is the 2^nd time I realize that I’m using the Anaconda version that is preinstalled with Visual Studio. I’m not sure if the spaces in the path affects the creation of environments or it’s something else, however my current and big and amazing solution is:

• Uninstall Anaconda
• Install Anaconda again

And then, follow the simple commands in the official Anaconda and TensorFlow doc (see references)

conda create -n tensorflow_env tensorflow
conda activate tensorflow_env

Once tensorflow is installed, I usually test this in python

> Python 
import tensorflow as tf 
print(tf.__version__)

Note: please ignore the typos!

Now TensorFlow is installed and it’s time to move forward with a new development environment.

Happy Coding!
