To install TensorFlow on macOS, you can use the pip package manager which is the recommended way to install TensorFlow. First, open a terminal window and create a new virtual environment using virtualenv or conda. Then activate the virtual environment.
Next, install TensorFlow using pip by running the following command:
pip install tensorflow
This will download and install the latest version of TensorFlow on your macOS system. Once the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by importing TensorFlow in a Python script or interactive shell.
You can also install TensorFlow with GPU support if you have a compatible GPU by running the following command:
pip install tensorflow-gpu
This will install TensorFlow with GPU support and allow you to take advantage of the accelerated performance provided by your GPU.
Finally, you can update TensorFlow to the latest version using pip by running the following command:
pip install --upgrade tensorflow
This will upgrade your current installation of TensorFlow to the latest version available. With these steps, you should be able to successfully install TensorFlow on your macOS system and start using it for your machine learning and deep learning projects.
How to install TensorFlow with MKL (Math Kernel Library) on macOS?

How to upgrade TensorFlow on macOS?
To upgrade TensorFlow on macOS, you can use the following steps:
- Open a terminal window on your macOS.
- Activate your TensorFlow environment using the 'source' command. If you are using a virtual environment, you can activate it using the following command:
1
|
source activate <your_environment>
|
- Use pip to upgrade TensorFlow by running the following command:
1
|
pip install --upgrade tensorflow
|
- After the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running:
1
|
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.__version__)"
|
This will display the current version of TensorFlow that is installed on your macOS.
- You may also need to upgrade other dependencies that TensorFlow relies on. To do this, you can run the following command:
1
|
pip install --upgrade tensorflow-addons
|
By following these steps, you can successfully upgrade TensorFlow on macOS to the latest version available.
What are the dependencies required to install TensorFlow on macOS?
To install TensorFlow on macOS, the following dependencies are required:
- Python: TensorFlow is compatible with Python 3.6 and 3.7.
- Virtualenv or Anaconda: It is recommended to create a virtual environment using either Virtualenv or Anaconda to install TensorFlow without affecting the system-wide Python installation.
- pip: The Python package installer, pip, is required to install TensorFlow and its dependencies.
- macOS operating system: TensorFlow can be installed on macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) or later.
- Xcode Command Line Tools: These tools are required for compiling C/C++ code, which TensorFlow uses for some of its operations. You can install Xcode Command Line Tools by running the command xcode-select --install in the Terminal.
Once you have the above dependencies installed, you can use pip to install TensorFlow by running the following command in the Terminal:
1
|
pip install tensorflow
|
This command will install the CPU-only version of TensorFlow. If you want to install the GPU version, you will also need to install CUDA and cuDNN on your system.
