`is not a supported wheel on this platform` can be caused by old versions of pip as well; did you try `pip install --upgrade pip`? — Alexandre Passos, Mar 06 '17 at 21:23

For me upgrading tensorflow alone made tensorflow giving errors. I have to upgrade the tensorflow-gpu also to get it working – FindOutIslamNow Aug 28 '18 at 06:31
for Windows users, if you get `ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.` or `Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.`or similar, try updating MSVC Runtime to the latest as described in issue https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/35749 – Roman Kruglov Feb 10 '20 at 14:33
Thank you! The command worked for me to upgrade TF to 2.8.0 (Python 3): pip install --upgrade tensorflow==2.8.0 – Pulkit Ratna Ganjeer Mar 30 '22 at 05:29

To upgrade any python package, use pip install <pkg_name> --upgrade.

So in your case it would be pip install tensorflow --upgrade. Just updated to 1.1.0

This is official recommendation for upgrading Tensorflow.

To get TensorFlow 1.5, you can use the standard pip installation (or pip3 if you use python3)

$  pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

Often you have to sudo the command: sudo pip3 install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow – Claude COULOMBE May 14 '18 at 00:52

Tensorflow upgrade -Python3

>> pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow --user

if you got this

"ERROR: tensorboard 2.0.2 has requirement grpcio>=1.24.3, but you'll have grpcio 1.22.0 which is incompatible."

Upgrade grpcio

>> pip3 install --upgrade grpcio --user

Before trying to update tensorflow try updating pip

pip install --upgrade pip

If you are upgrading from a previous installation of TensorFlow < 0.7.1, you should uninstall the previous TensorFlow and protobuf using,

pip uninstall tensorflow

to make sure you get a clean installation of the updated protobuf dependency.

Uninstall the TensorFlow on your system, and check out Download and Setup to reinstall again.

If you are using pip install, go check the available version over https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow, search keywords with linux/cpu/tensorflow to see the availabilities.

Then, set the path for download and execute in sudo.

$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py2-none-any.whl

$ sudo pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

For anaconda installation, first pick a channel which has the latest version of tensorflow binary. Usually, the latest versions are available at the channel conda-forge. Then simply do:

conda update -f -c conda-forge tensorflow

This will upgrade your existing tensorflow installation to the very latest version available. As of this writing, the latest version is 1.4.0-py36_0
