Cannot import TensorFlow

uyncis · December 8, 2019, 6:20pm

I want to learn TensorFlow to improve our AI skill I write TensorFlow tutorial to Google https://www.tutorialspoint.com/tensorflow/tensorflow_installation.htm and start to read from Tutorialspoint I did install python, pip, anaconda and tensorflow on a anaconda environment when I run python shell and try import tensorflow as it gives me error:

how can I solve this problem?

My first thought is that I don’t believe TensorFlow is built for Python3.7+ yet. Try with 3.6 and see if that helps.

I only speak English, what does Devingen bağlantı kitaplığını (DLL) başlatma işlemi başarısız. mean?

uyncis · December 8, 2019, 8:15pm

DLL start process failed

gcperk20 · December 8, 2019, 8:20pm

Ahh, I understand the problem. Looking at the tutorial, you are installing tensorflow-gpu. This package requires many GPU and Deep Learning libraries, which clearly are either not installed or not installed properly.

The easiest solution is to uninstall tensorflow-gpu and install tensorflow, which will mean your models will train on your CPU ONLY.

If you want to train on your GPU if you have one, check out this guide. This is going to take many hours and attempts for most people, FYI. Especially for someone doing it for the first time.

uyncis · December 8, 2019, 8:36pm

its output the same error…

gcperk20 · December 8, 2019, 8:49pm

You’re saying that after running

pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu
and
pip install tensorflow

You get the same error after importing tensorflow?

gcperk20 · December 8, 2019, 8:52pm

Another solution I’ve seen is to instead run conda install tensorflow. The next alternative will be to install an older version, but that seems more like of a workaround than a solution.

uyncis · December 9, 2019, 5:46pm

I just delete previous and install on a brand new environment with
pip install tensorflow
only
