Workaround to fix Tensorflow installation error with Python 3.7 (Linux)
1 min readOct 31, 2018
Recently, I upgraded my version of Python to 3.7. However, I started having problems with some of my libraries, especially Tensorflow.
Seeking for some information in the forums and even in the Tensorflow repository, I saw that it was not the only one.
Then, until a new version is released, either you install version 3.6 or you perform the following procedure:
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl
The workaround is to use the cp command (or rename).
cp tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl tensorflow-1.11.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
Now, you can install the Tensorflow.
pip install tensorflow-1.11.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
Enjoy it.
