How do I fix an exception caused by trying to install Tensorflow?

So I'm doing a pip installation of Tensorflow, and every time I run sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.8.0-py2-none-any.whl, I get this obnoxious error:

I've heard this error occurs with 32bit systems as tensorflow is supposed to run on 64bit.

See this link https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/33

Just got my installation of tensorflow working. I switched from using ubuntu 16 to 14. So using Ubuntu14.04.5 x64 works.

Checkout this answer for ideal system requirements for tensorflow:

Tensorflow recommended system specifications?

this works for me: 

sudo -H pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.8.0-py2-none-any.whl --upgrade --ignore-installed six
