Step-by-step – TensorFlow Installation in Linux Mint 21

Installing

2. 2. Installing PIP

   Now to Install Python 3 PIP
   Simply play:

   sudo apt install python3-pip

   Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
   If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.

3. 3. Using TensorFlow

   Then to Use TensorFlow on Mint
   For the Stable Release CPU-only:

   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”.
   Instead for the enhanced GPU Release:

   pip3 install --user tf-gpu

   To use it see the Official TensorFlow GPU Docs , specifically the section on Device Placement.
   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
