Ubuntu: No module named tensorflow in IPython but works in Python (Anaconda environment)

Question

When I try to import tensorflow in IPython in my Anaconda environment, I get a No module named tensorflow error. However, when I import it after running the python command in the terminal, there are no errors.

I've googled for solutions and so far I have tried the following:

copied the site-packages inside /anaconda2/lib/python2.7/envs/tensorflow/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ to /anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
installed ipython in the conda environment with conda install ipython

Anyone know what else I could try?

You didn't try `conda install` for tensorflow? Are you sure IPython is running python2? — OneCricketeer, Oct 19 '16 at 06:25
Check `sys.executable` to see which environment you're running in, and `sys.path` to see where it looks for imports. — Thomas K, Oct 19 '16 at 10:58

Refer: Tensorflow and Anaconda on Ubuntu?

I found a link where the tensorflow.whl files were converted to conda packages, so I went ahead and installed it using the command:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/jjhelmus tensorflow

and it worked, since the $PATH points to anaconda packages, I can import it now!

Source is here
