pip install tensorflow - no matching distribution - tensorflow

Question

I am following TensorFlow's installation guide for Windows 10 & WSL2.
But I get the following when I finally get to the point of installing TensorFlow,
(base) root#SCEDWLWC164905:~# conda activate tf
(tf) root#SCEDWLWC164905:~# pip install tensorflow

(tf) root#SCED:~# python --version
Python 3.9.16
(tf) root#SCED:~#
I set up the environment with Python 3.9 as recommended in the above link. I have followed all the NVIDIA driver prerequisites.
I had a look to see if pip was installed,
(tf) root#SCED:~# which pip
/root/miniconda3/envs/tf/bin/pip
It is, so what's the issue here?
EDIT :: There have been some suggestions that this is a Python version issue. I repeat, I am following Tensorflow's official documentation. They seem to be under the impression that Python 3.9 is the one to use - they'd know right? The answers linked to in the comments are badly out of date.

Answer 1

once pip installed, try this line?
python3 -m pip install --default-timeout=10000 tensorflow-macos
