I am trying to install Tensorflow on Windows 10 using Anaconda3.

I get the following error message after every attempt.

 "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 
 3221226505 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install- 
 8j_eg21o\termcolor\"

I Create a new Anaconda Container and tried running the following.

 "python -m pip install tensorflow"
 "python -m pip install tensorflow==1.7.1"
 "python -m pip install --upgrade tensorflow"

There are some information on the internet stating my Setup Tools is out of date. I tried to correct this by using the Following commands. 

 "pip install --upgrade setuptools"
 "python -m pip install --upgrade pip"

It does not correct the error message. Is there any Python Guru's that will be able to solve my issue? Thanks in advance.

Anaconda is there for such issues. You ought not use pip to install packages unless it is the last resort. conda helps you avoid colliding packages. Do:

conda update conda
conda create -n tensor python=3.6

We first updated conda, and then created an environment called tensor that has Python 3.6.

To activate our environment, install and test if we can use tensorflow, do:

conda activate tensor
conda config --append channels conda-forge
conda install tensorflow 
python -c "import tensorflow"

This activates our environment (tensor), appended conda-forge channel, install tensorflow and test if we can import tensorflow.

To add other packages e.g. jupyter, pandas and scikit-learn. We can do:

conda install -n tensor jupyter pandas scikit-learn

This works in or out of our tensor environment. Happy coding.

According to this answer, try upgrading setuptools via ,

easy_install -U setuptools

Since you want to install TensorFlow in an Anaconda environment, I would suggest installing a Conda package. You can read the instructions here. Installing pip packages invite problems for some packages. Install the TensorFlow Conda package using,

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

The conda packages must work as expected.
