Tensorflow - 1 - Install TensorFlow

The TensorFlow requires Python(2.7 , 3.4+) so you have to install the Python before install TensorFlow. but the Python already installed in Ubuntu , so if you chose Ubuntu by your OS, you don't have to care about it !

There is many way to set up TensorFlow but I will use Anaconda which is a Python distribution that includes a large number of standard numeric and scientific computing packages.

here is anaconda download link , if you work in windows environment , it's OK you can download it before boot as Ubuntu , because Ubuntu can access your whole disk including disk which was installed windows

1.  Open the terminal by searching

2.  input code

python -V

and check the version of python

3. if your python2 version is 2.7, input code

bash Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

and install the anaconda( don't forget to move 'Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh' file to home directory

4. then , you have to be the yes man! repeatedly press 'Enter' key and input yes

5. and then ! you have to set tensorflow virtual anaconda environment by inputting code

conda create -n tensorflow python=2.7

6. if you completely followed me, you can see this messages

7. then input two codes

source activate tensorflow

export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

each code means activate virtual anaconda environment and select correct binary

8. and input last code to install tensorflow

pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

9. if you wanna test that you did perfectly , turn on python and input following code

 import tensorflow as tf
 hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
 sess = tf.Session()
 print(sess.run(hello))

if whole system is well, you get 'Hello, TensorFlow!'
(To be frank , it doesn't test technical component of TensorFlow but just test functional part)
