Error while installing tensorflow

Question

I am trying to install tensorflow on cluster where I don't have sudo access, but I am receiving this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/nsoufi2s/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 41, in from tensorflow.python.pywrap_tensorflow_internal import * File "/home/nsoufi2s/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py", line 28, in _pywrap_tensorflow_internal = swig_import_helper() File "/home/nsoufi2s/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper _mod = imp.load_module('_pywrap_tensorflow_internal', fp, pathname, description) File "/home/nsoufi2s/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/imp.py", line 242, in load_module return load_dynamic(name, filename, file) File "/home/nsoufi2s/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/imp.py", line 342, in load_dynamic return _load(spec) ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/nsoufi2s/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

Answer 1

conda install tensorflow works

Answer 2

You can create a virtual environment in your home directory using the following commands. You will not need sudo access.

conda create -n tensorflow python=3.5
source activate tensorflow
pip install tensorflow
