I just started learning tensorflow. After reading those stackoverflow posts, I still have problems loading MNIST dataset.

According to the official guide, the following code will work:

from tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist import input_data
mnist = input_data.read_data_sets("MNIST_data/", one_hot=True)

However, I get errors like this:

ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because 
the target machine actively refused it

Some people on stackoverflow said that:

"Make sure to download the file to the tensorflow MNIST_data folder 
tensorflow\examples\tutorials\mnist".

I'm a bit confused: Does tensorflow\examples\tutorials\mnist folder already exist in my C drive? I didn't find it. Where should I create folder to store the downloaded file? Can someone provide a detailed guideline?

Thanks!

  • Where do I put the MINIST_data folder? – Hyoceansun Dec 20 '17 at 05:56
  • Doesn't particularly matter, maybe in the same directory as the python file, or in `/tmp/MNIST_data` for a more absolute path. – kww Dec 20 '17 at 17:44
