I am unable to import tensorflow

Question

I pip-installed tensorflow by running the "pip install tensorflow" on my windows command prompt.

But when I try importing tensorflow and run a simple program on it:

import tensorflow as tf

x1=tf.constant(5)
x2=tf.constant(6)

result=tf.multiply(x1,x2)
print(result)

I get loads of errors.

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/get_started/os_setup.md#import_error

for some common reasons and solutions.  Include the entire stack trace above this error message when asking for help.

And the following errors are obtained

Did you install the GPU version of TensorFlow? If so, the `%PATH%` environment variable for PyCharm might not include the CUDA and cuDNN DLLs. [This answer](http://stackoverflow.com/q/21538859/3574081) has suggestions for how to set the environment variables appropriately. — mrry, Mar 06 '17 at 15:51

These are the possible scenarios:

You need to install the MSVC 2019 redistributable
Your CPU does not support AVX2 instructions
Your CPU/Python is on 32 bits
There is a library that is in a different location/not installed on your system that cannot be loaded.
