Instructions to install Tensorflow on windows can be found in https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows. Although I have a GPU in my PC, I will choose install the version with CPU support only.

  1. Used web-based installer option for windows in https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-362/ to install Python 3.6.
  2. To install tensorflow, I use pip as shown below:
Type the above command in Cmd window

Type Cmd on the search bar (Window 10 Version) and with a right click, say Run as Administrator. You should see something like this:

Note Administrator: Command Prompt on top of the window

Running Cmd with Administrator permission helps to avoid errors as shown below:

Hopefully, this helps installing Python and Tensorflow. Often there are issues ranging from simple to complicated; I search Stack Overflow for answers. If you can’t find them there, then leave me a note.
