Learning Tensorflow
Installation
conda create -n dataweekends pandas scikit-learn jupyter matplotlib
conda activate dataweekends
Install TensorFlow with pip
Available packages
tensorflow —Current release for CPU-only (recommended for beginners)
tensorflow-gpu —Current release with GPU support (Ubuntu and Windows)
tf-nightly —Nightly build for CPU-only (unstable)
tf-nightly-gpu —Nightly build with GPU support (unstable, Ubuntu and Windows)
System requirements
Ubuntu 16.04 or later (64-bit)
macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) or later (64-bit) (no GPU support)
Windows 7 or later (64-bit) (Python 3 only)
Learning Tensorflow
Raspbian 9.0 or later
Hardware requirements
Starting with TensorFlow 1.6, binaries use AVX instructions which may not run on older CPUs.
Read the GPU support guide to set up a CUDA®-enabled GPU card on Ubuntu or Windows.
1. Install the Python development environment on your system
Python 3 Python 2.7
Check if your Python environment is already configured:
Requires Python 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6
python3 --version
pip3 --version
virtualenv --version
If these packages are already installed, skip to the next step.
Otherwise, install Python, the pip package manager, and Virtualenv:
Learning Tensorflow
UBUNTU
MAC OS
WINDOWS
RASPBERRY PI
OTHER
Install using the Homebrew package manager:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
brew update
brew install python # Python 3
sudo pip3 install -U virtualenv # system-wide install
Create a virtual environment (recommended)
Python virtual environments are used to isolate package installation from the system.
Learning Tensorflow
UBUNTU / MAC OS
WINDOWS
CONDA
Create a new virtual environment by choosing a Python interpreter and making a ./venv directory to hold it:
virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 ./venv
Activate the virtual environment using a shell-specific command:
source ./venv/bin/activate # sh, bash, ksh, or zsh
When virtualenv is active, your shell prompt is prefixed with (venv).
Install packages within a virtual environment without affecting the host system setup. Start by upgrading pip:
pip install --upgrade pip
pip list # show packages installed within the virtual environment
And to exit virtualenv later:
deactivate # don't exit until you're done using TensorFlow
Install the TensorFlow pip package
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.12.0-py3-none-any.whl
Learning Tensorflow
To test your installation you can type:
ipython
You can then type:
import keras, tensorflow
to which it should reply: Using TensorFlow backend.
tensorflow.__version__
To stop the ipython console just type CTRL+D twice.
To exit the dataweekends environment, type:
source deactivate
From the terminal
#jupyter notebook
Open a terminal window from the notebook and install tensorflow
Learning Tensorflow
Then you can import tensorflow using the Jupyter.
#import keras, tensorflow
#tensorflow.__version__

For each lab perform the following steps:
Activate the environment as follow:
conda activate dataweekends
source ./venv/bin/activate
Start jupyter from that CLIs

First Tensor Flow
File in jupyter : Learning TensorFlow
Stats to be understand:
simple classifier called softmax regression
stochasticity
cross entropy —a natural choice when the model outputs class probabilities.
gradient descent optimization.
