[FIXED] Unable to install Tensorflow on Anaconda Environment

Issue

This is the error I get when I try to install TensorFlow on Anaconda environment

I am using python 3.11.5 with this env.

(ai-env) C:\Users\ahmet>conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow
Channels:
 - conda-forge
 - defaults
Platform: win-64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: | warning  libmamba Added empty dependency for problem type SOLVER_RULE_UPDATE

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:
  - package tensorflow-1.7.0-0 requires tensorflow-base 1.7.0, but none of the providers can be installed

Could not solve for environment specs

Pins seem to be involved in the conflict. Currently pinned specs:
 - python 3.11.* (labeled as 'pin-1')

• Search the net for this specific error but find nothing similar.

• Uninstalled anaconda and start with a fresh instance.

  Still same.

Solution

Step 1: Unpin Python version (if you have it pinned)

conda config --remove pinned_packages python=3.11

Step 2: Create a new environment with a compatible Python version

For instance, TensorFlow 2.x works well with Python 3.8 or 3.9

conda create -n tf_env python=3.8

Step 3: Activate the new environment

conda activate tf_env

Step 4: Install TensorFlow

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow
