pip install tensorflor==2.10

[short kernel]

2.10 is from 2022 so it probably uses .egg instead of .whl (which means pypi won't support it)

Are you following a tutorial @frank pine ?

[frank pine]

I am actually trying to run tensorflow using my GPU but pip install tensorflow-gpu is depricated and I read on the documentation that v2.11 and above doesnt support gpu on native windows

but I cant find any installations for tensorflow 2.10 and lower

screenshot from the documentation

[short kernel]

Oh. I don't know about that. I do know that .egg has been deprecated in favor of .whl though and has been for a while though.

[frank pine]

I did find a manual file but idk how to use it

[short kernel]

Can you do the WSL2 solution?

[frank pine]

does that install the package on my python in windows?

[short kernel]

all you would need to do is download it then do pip nameoffile.whl

WSL2 is Windows Subsystem for Linux so you'd basically be installing it on Linux (but in Windows).

But if you found a .whl for it try that first.

[frank pine]

okay will try

[short kernel]

sorry it's pip install nameoffile.whl

[frank pine]

man

[short kernel]

What's your python version?

[frank pine]

3.11.4

[short kernel]

I think that's for 3.10

[frank pine]

welp. ill setup my wsl and try that out

[short kernel]

I don't want to say for certain and have you install 3.10 just to find out that's not the case though

haha okay

wsl would be a bit more work but then you'd be able to use wsl

good luck

[frank pine]

im familliar with wsl but isnt it a virtual environment?

im using jupyter notebook with python env but will installing it in wsl work?

[short kernel]

It's pretty performant if that's your concern. Do you have an Nvidia GPU?

I don't really know much about jupyter, sorry

[frank pine]

yea wsl is a seprate environment overall

will have to use jupyter in wsl if I want it to work

[short kernel]

Yeah, you're literally installing Linux in Windows

The Windows Subsystem for Linux name is a total misnomer.

Should be Linux Subsystem for Windows IMO

but that's MS branding I suppose :P

If you have Nvidia GPU you need to do some extra stuff too.

(I have an Nvidia GPU and jumped through all the hoops)

[frank pine]

man.. i already went through all the stuff in windows too haha. like installing cuda and cuDNN. I thought it could work

ill just give it up for now... Thanks anyways you were a lot of help

[short kernel]

Windows is precious and so is Nvidia

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I installed Linux on my machine. :P

Ok, good luck.
