System used:

MacOS Big Sur MacBook Air M1 processor - 
Python 3.8.2 - 
pip 20.3.3

I am trying to install Tensorflow 2 on my Mac, I have all the requirements needed, I tried

python -m pip install tensorflow but I receive these two errors:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow

I also tried to download from https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/2.4.0/#files the last release for mac and python 3.8 and running python -m pip install /Users/v.b./Downloads/tensorflow-2.4.0-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_11_x86_64.whl

I receive this error:

ERROR: tensorflow-2.4.0-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_11_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I think it is something really stupid I am missing but I don't know what it is. I googled a lot and some other people found a solution to similar problems but not exactly to mine. Does anyone have any clue or had the same issue ?

  • Could you set up an Anaconda environment ? That is [easier](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64622401/tensorflow-installation-in-python-3-9-064-bit-and-pip-version-20-2-3/64623488#64623488). – Mohan Radhakrishnan Dec 31 '20 at 15:17
  • no I need to run the command using the terminal as I use spider standalone, without anaconda (faster and lighter than installing the entire anaconda app) – Vincenzo Brigandì Dec 31 '20 at 15:43
  • The tensorflow are still on alpha versions & might take some more time to become available as beta releases (which is much more stable). Mean while you can have a look at this https://github.com/apple/tensorflow_macos/releases and watch this issue https://github.com/apple/tensorflow_macos/issues/46 – papaya Jan 03 '21 at 17:39

Check this one: https://github.com/apple/tensorflow_macos

Once downloaded you may use install_venv.sh to install tf with virtual environment.

Or install it to your current setup by running the command below:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade ~/Downloads/tensorflow_macos/x86_64/*.whl --no-dependencies --force
