How to download previous version of tensorflow?

Question

For some reason, I want to use some previous version of tensorflow('tensorflow-**-.whl', not source code on github) and where can I download the previous version and how can I know the corresponding cuda version that is compatible.

It works for me, since I have 1.6

pip install tensorflow==1.5

Easiest solution by far, this answer needs more upvotes! An example installing TF 1.4.1 GPU version: `pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.4.1` – David Parks Mar 27 '18 at 15:50

@DavidParks Yes, it maybe the easiest solution now. Actually, TF didn't support `pip install tensorflow-XX=XXX` at the moment when the problem was posted. – lhao0301 Aug 30 '19 at 07:02

This has been broken for some reasons. One can find and download legacy versions from the `Release history` page of tensorflow or tensorflow-gpu in pypi.org. – fytao Oct 12 '19 at 02:28
This will uninstall newer version and install version specified, it works for me. – Eugene Jan 16 '20 at 03:59

pip install tensorflow==1.15 in 2020 Jan – CuteMeowMeow Jan 20 '20 at 03:37
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==1.5 – Andreas K. May 25 '21 at 21:52
@AndreasK. which python version do you have? I think 1.15 version of Tensorflow is not available for new python versions. I had python3.5.3 when I was testing this tensorflow command. – Minions May 25 '21 at 22:11
Yeap, I have 3.8 and that was the problem. – Andreas K. May 25 '21 at 22:14

Find available versions (some example results shown):

$ curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow |xmllint --format - |grep whl

<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.8.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>
<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.9.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>
<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.11.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>
<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.10.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>

You can, of course, filter the results further by piping through additional instances of grep.

Pick the version you want and install for Python with pip...

$ TFVERSION=linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.10.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/$(TFVERSION)

Note: cp27 in the list above indicates compatibility with Python version 2.7.

Google must have changed something. This command does not return anything now. — Shailen, Jul 31 '20 at 10:06

The above answer does not work any more.

You can install like this:

curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow |xmllint --format - |grep whl

<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.8.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>
<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.9.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>
<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.11.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>
<Key>linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.10.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl</Key>

Then pick the model you want.

Then you can run this kind of command :

# Mac OS X, CPU only, Python 2.7:
$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.11.0-py2-none-any.whl

Then install Tensorflow:

# Python 2
$ sudo pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

# Python 3
$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

You can do as suggested beforehand and search for available version in tesorflow site but you can't access versions older than available there.

So if you want an earlier version:

go to https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow
search for the version you want under branches - for instance r0.11
Then go to the download and setup section. Again, for r0.11: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/r0.11/tensorflow/g3doc/get_started/os_setup.md and install as described there.

To download an older version of TensorFlow make sure you are using an older version of python as well. Otherwise, you will run into an issue like no version satisfying requirement found.

Create a virtual environment for this and install python==3..5
Use pip install tensorflow==1.4 or so.

Goto https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/
Click on the version you want, for example: https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r1.1/
Click on install, for example: https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r1.1/install/
Then follow your preferred way to install

in order to find out available previous versions all you need to do is either use :

pip search tensorflow-gpu or pip search tensorflow

conda search tensorflow-gpu or conda search tensorflow

and to install them even:

pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.15.0 or pip install tensorflow==1.15.0

conda install tensorflow-gpu==1.15.0 or conda install tensorflow==1.15.0

my experience conda search is much much cleaner and easier to find packages.
