When I check the METADATA about the requires of the Numpy version for TensorFlow(tf).
tf 1.15.0 requries 1.16.0 <= numpy < 2.0, and actually installed numpy = 1.19.2
tf 1.15.5 requries 1.16.0 <= numpy < 1.19.0, and actually installed numpy = 1.18.5
However, If I upgrade tf from 1.15.0 to 1.15.5, I need to down the numpy from 1.19.2 to 1.18.5, which is not our intention.
Is there anyone know how to avoid this big gap for numpy if I want to upgrade tf to 1.15.5?
In other words, is the requirement for numpy version strictly conflict with version 1.19 when tf version is 1.15.5?
TF 1.15.0 requires "numpy<2.0,>=1.16.0" and installs numpy-1.19.5 while installing Tensorflow 1.15.0
TF 1.15.5 requires "numpy<1.19.0,>=1.16.0" and installs numpy-1.18.5 while installing Tensorflow 1.15.5
if you have TF 1.15.5 installed in your system and
you want to re-install TF 1.15.0 after uninstalling existing TF 1.15.5 , this TF version will be compatible with existing numpy-1.18.5 as it needs "numpy<2.0,>=1.16.0"
and the same way if you have TF 1.15.0 installed in your system and
you want to re-install TF 1.15.5 after uninstalling TF 1.15.0, this TF version will downgrade the existing numpy-1.19.5 to numpy-1.18.5 as TF 1.15.5 supports "numpy<1.19.0,>=1.16.0"
To answer your question -
TF 1.15.5 requires "numpy<1.19.0,>=1.16.0" and installs numpy-1.18.5
which is suitable for both the Tensrflow versions (1.15.5 or 1.15.0).
Also the compatible numpy version will automatically get installed when
you install any version of Tensorflow.
For legacy reasons, I need to use TensorFlow 1.x. I followed this guide (https://caffeinedev.medium.com/how-to-install-tensorflow-on-m1-mac-8e9b91d93706) to install TensorFlow on my M1 MacBook, however it is only able to install TensorFlow 2.x.
I am also unable to install via conda because M1 only supports Python 3.8+ for conda, whereas TensorFlow 1.x is only supported on Python 3.7 or below.
Any workarounds?
tensorflow-macos is only available from tensorflow v2.5.0 but you can simulate the v1 behaviour using the following code:
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()

On the other tab roscore is runing and before launching I've made source/home/bellatrix/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash. Meanwhile I'm getting this error which says I didn't installed TensorFlow. I've already tried changing keras.models to keras.py in the code but it seem rospack don't see Keras or TensorFlow.
I install the tensorflow gpu first
pip install tensorflow-gpu.
pip install keras
but when I;m running the gpu task. it does not run with the gpu.
It run with CPU.
import keras
import tensorflow as tf
print(keras.__version__)
print(tf.__version__)
2.3.1
2.1.0
try to user Tensorflow-gpu=2.0.0 and Keras=2.3.1 this will solve your problem.
I've tried tensorflow on both cuda 7.5 and 8.0, w/o cudnn (my GPU is old, cudnn doesn't support it).
When I execute device_lib.list_local_devices(), there is no gpu in the output. Theano sees my gpu, and works fine with it, and examples in /usr/share/cuda/samples work fine as well.
I installed tensorflow through pip install. Is my gpu too old for tf to support it? gtx 460
I came across this same issue in jupyter notebooks. This could be an easy fix.
$ pip uninstall tensorflow
$ pip install tensorflow-gpu
You can check if it worked with:
tf.test.gpu_device_name()
Update 2020
It seems like tensorflow 2.0+ comes with gpu capabilities therefore
pip install tensorflow should be enough

check if your card can work with tensorflow (optional)
my PC: GeForce GTX 1060 notebook (driver version - 419.35), windows 10, jupyter notebook
tensorflow needs Compute Capability 3.5 or higher. (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu#hardware_requirements)
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
select "CUDA-Enabled GeForce Products"
result - "GeForce GTX 1060 Compute Capability = 6.1"
my card can work with tf!
find versions of CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN SDK, that you need
a) find your tf version
import sys
print (sys.version)
# 3.6.4 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Jan 16 2018, 10:22:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
# my output was => 1.13.1
b) find right versions of CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN SDK for your tf version
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#linux
* it is written for linux, but worked in my case
see, that tensorflow_gpu-1.13.1 needs: CUDA Toolkit v10.0, cuDNN SDK v7.4
install CUDA Toolkit
a) install CUDA Toolkit 10.0
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive
select: CUDA Toolkit 10.0 and download base installer (2 GB)
installation settings: select only CUDA
(my installation path was: D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development)
b) add environment variables:
system variables / path must have:
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\bin
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\libnvvp
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\extras\CUPTI\libx64
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\include
install cuDNN SDK
a) download cuDNN SDK v7.4
https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive (needs registration, but it is simple)
select "Download cuDNN v7.4.2 (Dec 14, 2018), for CUDA 10.0"
b) add path to 'bin' folder into "environment variables / system variables / path":
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\cudnn_for_cuda_10_0\bin
pip uninstall tensorflow
pip install tensorflow-gpu
check if tensorflow sees your GPU
- restart your PC
- print(get_available_devices())
- # now this code should return => ['/device:CPU:0', '/device:GPU:0']
If you are using conda, you might have installed the cpu version of the tensorflow. Check package list (conda list) of the environment to see if this is the case . If so, remove the package by using conda remove tensorflow and install keras-gpu instead (conda install -c anaconda keras-gpu. This will install everything you need to run your machine learning codes in GPU. Cheers!
P.S. You should check first if you have installed the drivers correctly using nvidia-smi. By default, this is not in your PATH so you might as well need to add the folder to your path. The .exe file can be found at C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI
When I look up your GPU, I see that it only supports CUDA Compute Capability 2.1. (Can be checked through https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) Unfortunately, TensorFlow needs a GPU with minimum CUDA Compute Capability 3.0.
https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup#optional_install_cuda_gpus_on_linux
You might see some logs from TensorFlow checking your GPU, but ultimately the library will avoid using an unsupported GPU.
The following worked for me, hp laptop. I have a Cuda Compute capability
(version) 3.0 compatible Nvidia card. Windows 7.
pip3.6.exe uninstall tensorflow-gpu
pip3.6.exe uninstall tensorflow-gpu
pip3.6.exe install tensorflow-gpu
I had a problem because I didn't specify the version of Tensorflow so my version was 2.11. After many hours I found that my problem is described in install guide:
Caution: TensorFlow 2.10 was the last TensorFlow release that supported GPU on native-Windows. Starting with TensorFlow 2.11, you will need to install TensorFlow in WSL2, or install tensorflow-cpu and, optionally, try the TensorFlow-DirectML-Plugin
Before that, I read most of the answers to this and similar questions. I followed #AndrewPt answer. I already had installed CUDA but updated the version just in case, installed cudNN, and restarted the computer.
The easiest solution for me was to downgrade to 2.10 (you can try different options mentioned in the install guide). I first uninstalled all of these packages (probably it's not necessary, but I didn't want to see how pip messed up versions at 2 am):
pip uninstall keras
pip uninstall tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem
pip uninstall tensorflow-estimator
pip uninstall tensorflow
pip uninstall Keras-Preprocessing
pip uninstall tensorflow-intel
because I wanted only packages required for the old version, and I didn't do it for all required packages for 2.11 version. After that I installed tensorflow 2.10:
pip install tensorflow<2.11
and it worked.
I used this code to check if GPU is visible:
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))
So as of 2022-04, the tensorflow package contains both CPU and GPU builds. To install a GPU build, search to see what's available:
λ conda search tensorflow
Loading channels: done
# Name Version Build Channel
tensorflow 0.12.1 py35_1 conda-forge
tensorflow 0.12.1 py35_2 conda-forge
tensorflow 1.0.0 py35_0 conda-forge
…
tensorflow 2.5.0 mkl_py39h1fa1df6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 eigen_py37h37bbdb1_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 eigen_py38h63d3545_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 eigen_py39h855417c_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 gpu_py37h3e8f0e3_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 gpu_py38hc0e8100_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 gpu_py39he88c5ba_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 mkl_py37h9623b36_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 mkl_py38hdc16138_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 mkl_py39h31650da_0 pkgs/main
You can see that there are builds of TF 2.6.0 that support Python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9, and that are built for MKL (Intel CPU), Eigen, or GPU.
To narrow it down, you can use wildcards in the search. This will find any Tensorflow 2.x version that is built for GPU, for instance:
λ conda search tensorflow=2*=gpu*
Loading channels: done
# Name Version Build Channel
tensorflow 2.0.0 gpu_py36hfdd5754_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.0.0 gpu_py37h57d29ca_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.1.0 gpu_py36h3346743_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.1.0 gpu_py37h7db9008_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.5.0 gpu_py37h23de114_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.5.0 gpu_py38h8e8c102_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.5.0 gpu_py39h7dc34a2_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 gpu_py37h3e8f0e3_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 gpu_py38hc0e8100_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 gpu_py39he88c5ba_0 pkgs/main
To install a specific version in an otherwise empty environment, you can use a command like:
λ conda activate tf
(tf) λ conda install tensorflow=2.6.0=gpu_py39he88c5ba_0
…
The following NEW packages will be INSTALLED:
_tflow_select pkgs/main/win-64::_tflow_select-2.1.0-gpu
…
cudatoolkit pkgs/main/win-64::cudatoolkit-11.3.1-h59b6b97_2
cudnn pkgs/main/win-64::cudnn-8.2.1-cuda11.3_0
…
tensorflow pkgs/main/win-64::tensorflow-2.6.0-gpu_py39he88c5ba_0
tensorflow-base pkgs/main/win-64::tensorflow-base-2.6.0-gpu_py39hb3da07e_0
…
As you can see, if you install a GPU build, it will automatically also install compatible cudatoolkit and cudnn packages. You don't need to manually check versions for compatibility, or manually download several gigabytes from Nvidia's website, or register as a developer, as it says in other answers or on the official website.
After installation, confirm that it worked and it sees the GPU by running:
λ python
Python 3.9.12 (main, Apr 4 2022, 05:22:27) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.__version__
'2.6.0'
>>> tf.config.list_physical_devices()
[PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:CPU:0', device_type='CPU'), PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:GPU:0', device_type='GPU')]
Getting conda to install a GPU build and other packages you want to use is another story, however, because there are a lot of package incompatibilities for me. I think the best you can do is specify the installation criteria using wildcards and cross your fingers.
This tries to install any TF 2.x version that's built for GPU and that has dependencies compatible with Spyder and matplotlib's dependencies, for instance:
λ conda install tensorflow=2*=gpu* spyder matplotlib
For me, this ended up installing a two year old GPU version of tensorflow:
matplotlib pkgs/main/win-64::matplotlib-3.5.1-py37haa95532_1
spyder pkgs/main/win-64::spyder-5.1.5-py37haa95532_1
tensorflow pkgs/main/win-64::tensorflow-2.1.0-gpu_py37h7db9008_0
I had previously been using the tensorflow-gpu package, but that doesn't work anymore. conda typically grinds forever trying to find compatible packages to install, and even when it's installed, it doesn't actually install a gpu build of tensorflow or the CUDA dependencies:
λ conda list

I have had an issue where I needed the latest TensorFlow (2.8.0 at the time of writing) with GPU support running in a conda environment. The problem was that it was not available via conda. What I did was
conda install cudatoolkit==11.2
pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.8.0
Although I've cheched that the cuda toolkit version was compatible with the tensorflow version, it was still returning an error, where libcudart.so.11.0 was not found. As a result, GPUs were not visible. The remedy was to set environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to your anaconda3/envs/<your_tensorflow_environment>/lib with this command
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/<user>/anaconda3/envs/<your_tensorflow_environment>/lib
Unless you make it permanent, you will need to create this variable every time you start a terminal prior to a session (jupyter notebook). It can be conveniently automated by following this procedure from conda's official website.
In my case, I had a working tensorflow-gpu version 1.14 but suddenly it stopped working. I fixed the problem using:
pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu==1.14
pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.14
I experienced the same problem on my Windows OS. I followed tensorflow's instructions on installing CUDA, cudnn, etc., and tried the suggestions in the answers above - with no success.
What solved my issue was to update my GPU drivers. You can update them via:
Pressing windows-button + r
Entering devmgmt.msc
Right-Clicking on "Display adapters" and clicking on the "Properties" option
Going to the "Driver" tab and selecting "Updating Driver".
Finally, click on "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Restart your machine and run the following check again:
from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
local_device_protos = device_lib.list_local_devices()
[x.name for x in local_device_protos]
