I want to use keras in Jupyter. Running command "import tensorflow as tf" tells me that tensorflow cannot be found. "pip install tensorflow" says tensorflow cannot be found. From here i got a better command:

py -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

This worked better, because this time there was progess. But an error was encountered - failed to build wheel for h5py. HDF5 dependency could not be loaded. Trying to get h5py with pip gives exact same error: cant build wheel because hdf5 is missing.

This website does not seem to have anything useful for windows7. Trying every installer from here had no effect. While claiming that h5py was "successfully installed", trying to install tensorflow proved the opposite. And trying to install wheels from this website just returned the same error. HDF5 could not be found. Even thought I was trying to install hdf5.

This installation guide is about h5py. it does not work because i dont have hdf5.

So my question is. How do i get a working keras for jupyter? Where can i find an installer that actually installs what i want? What is the complete set of CMD commands that are guaranteed to work and result in a working Tensor flow?

i am using 64 bit windows7, my python is 3.7.2. This fetch quest of collecting tiny bits and pieces of the answer is driving me mad.

  • Have you tried to containerize Jupyter and install the libraries using a requirements.txt file? I found it easier for some libraries than trying to install through Jupyter. I used docker for Mac but looks like you would need Docker for Windows. – Optionwiz Oct 25 '22 at 13:13
  • Im not installing anything thought jupyter. Im running CDM as admin and, i guess, that makes whatever i install available from anywhere on the disk, at least for python – This_site_is_the_worst Oct 25 '22 at 13:33
  • The tensorflow wheel you are trying to installs is for mac, not for windows, this will not work. – Dr. Snoopy Oct 25 '22 at 14:03
  • i tried a wheel file from the www.lfd.uci.edu, same as in "this website" link. same thing. i need this God forsaken hdf5 – This_site_is_the_worst Oct 25 '22 at 14:16
  • Did you follow instructions for windows from [here](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip). Just make sure that you are installing everything in a new environment to avoid conflicts with base environment's dependencies. You can test the same in WSL2/ Docker container too. –  Oct 31 '22 at 11:32
