How to install Tensorflow in MacOs

Install Anaconda
Create a .yml file to install Tensorflow and dependencies
Launch Jupyter Notebook

Step 1: Install Anaconda

Download anaconda from here Install Anaconda

Create .yml file to install Tensorflow and dependencies

It includes

Locate the path of Anaconda
Set the working directory to Anaconda
Create the yml file (For MacOS user, TensorFlow is installed here)
Edit the yml file
Compile the yml file
Activate Anaconda
Install TensorFlow (Windows user only)

Step 1) Locate Anaconda (use the Terminal)

Command: which anaconda

We have to create a new folder inside Anaconda folder that folder contains Ipython, Jupyter and TensorFlow. This is faster way to install libraries and softwares is to write a yml file.

Step 2) Set working directory

You have to set a working directory where yml file will be placed.

Open you terminal and type:

Command: cd anaconda3

Step 3) Create the yml file

Now you have to create yml file copy and paste below code to your terminal

Command: touch hello-tf.yml

A new file will be create which named hello-tf.yml inside anaconda3 folder

Step 4: Edit yml file

You are ready now to edit your yml file by copy below code to your teminal

Command: vi hello-tf.yml

Now from commands appear on screen you enter an edit mode. Inside this mode, you can, after pressing esc:

Press i to edit

Press w to save

Press q! to quit

Write below code in the edit mode and press esc followed by :w

Code:

name: hello-tfdependencies:

- python=3.6

- jupyter

- ipython

- pandas

- pip:

- https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/MacOS/cpu/tensorflow-1.5.0-py3-none-any.whl

Press esc followed by :q! to quite the edit mode.

Step 5) Compile the yml file

To compile the .yml file use below code which will develop conda environment:

Command: conda env create -f hello-tf.yml

It takes times. It will take around 1.1gb of space in your hard disk.

Step 6) Activate conda environment

Command: conda env list

You need to switch to hello-tf to activate the environment

Command: source activate hello-tf

Now You can check all dependencies are in the same environment.

Commands:

which python

which jupyter

which ipython

Optional: You can check for update/install tensorflow.

Command: pip install --upgrade tensorflow

Last Process:

You will proceed as follow:
Activate hello-tf conda environment
Open Jupyter
Import tensorflow
Delete Notebook
Close Jupyter

Step 1) Activate conda

Command: conda activate hello-tf

Step 2) Open Jupyter

Command: jupyter notebook

Step 3) Import Tensorflow

To import tensorflow below step is followed

import tensorflow as tf

Let's write your first code with TensorFlow.

hello = tf.constant('Hello, gooposts!')

hello

Congratulation. You successfully install TensorFlow with Jupyter on your Machine.

You have to open a new session with for each transection of jupyter and new opening

Command: source activate hello-tf
