How to Install Keras in Linux Mint 19 Gnu/Linux – Step-by-step

Setting Up

2. 2. Installing PIP

3. 3. Installing Keras

   Then to Install Keras on Linux Mint.

   Keras is a component of the TensorFlow suite and so it’s installed toghether with it…
   So now for TensorFlow Stable Release CPU-only execute:

   pip3 install --user tensorflow

   Again to install a Specific Version use:

   pip install -Iv --user tensorflow==[MYVERSION]

   Just Replace in the above Command [MYVERSION] with the choosen one, Eg. “2.10”.
   In case, for a Python 2 Setup Change pip3 in pip in the above Commands.
   For Nightly build CPU-only (unstable):

   pip3 install --user tf-nightly

   GPU package for CUDA-enabled GPU cards:

   pip3 install --user tensorflow-gpu

   Nightly build with GPU support (unstable):

   pip3 install --user tf-nightly-gpu

   Finally, if instead you want to Install Only Keras:

   pip3 install --user keras

4. 4. cuDNN Installation

   (Recommended if you plan on running Keras on GPU)

5. 5. HDF5 & h5py Installation

   (Required if you plan on Saving Keras models to disk)
   To Setup HDF5.

   sudo apt install libhdf5-100

   The for h5py do:

   pip3 install --user h5py

6. 6. graphviz & pydot Installation

   (Used by visualization utilities to plot model graphs)

   sudo apt install graphviz

   Finally, for pydot:

   pip3 install --user pydot
