First steps with TensorFlow

In this section, we will take our first steps in using the low-level TensorFlow API. After installing TensorFlow, we will cover how to create tensors in TensorFlow and different ways of manipulating them, such as changing their shape, data type, and so on.

Installing TensorFlow

Depending on how your system is set up, you can typically just use Python's pip installer and install TensorFlow from PyPI by executing the following from your terminal:

pip install tensorflow

This will install the latest stable version, which is 2.0.0 at the time of writing. In order to ensure that the code presented in this chapter can be executed as expected, it is recommended that you use TensorFlow 2.0.0, which can be installed by specifying the version explicitly:

pip install tensorflow==[desired-version]

In case you want to use GPUs (recommended), you need a compatible NVIDIA graphics card, along with the CUDA Toolkit and the NVIDIA cuDNN library to...
