Installing TensorFlow

The best programming support for TensorFlow is provided for Python (although libraries do exist for Java, C, and Go, while those for other languages are under active development).

There is a wealth of information on the web for installing TensorFlow for Python.

It is standard practice, also recommended by Google, to install TensorFlow in a virtual environment, that is, an environment that isolates a set of APIs and code from other APIs and code and from the system-wide environment.

There are two distinct versions of TensorFlow—one for execution on a CPU and another for execution on a GPU. This last requires that the numerical libraries CUDA and CuDNN are installed. Tensorflow will default to GPU execution where possible. See https://www.tensorflow.org/alpha/guide/using_gpu.

Rather than attempt to reinvent the wheel here, there follow resources for...
