Install Keras/Tensorflow on Mac with cpu python2.7

I recently found an article that indicates that the conventional methods for downloading python machine learning modules such as tensorflow and keras are not optimized for computers with a cpu. How can I configure tensorflow and keras to make it most compatible with my processor on MacOSX in python 2.7?

If it helps, I use pycharm to download most of my libraries and for my coding interface.

For any environment if you want to install tensorflow, you can simply run this command :

pip install tensorflow (for CPU, python2.7)
pip3 install tensorflow (for CPU, python3)

You need to mention externally if you want to install tensorflow with GPU like this:-

pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu

but for GPU you will need CUDA (NVDIA graphics) to run.

and very same way, you can install keras Where you dont have to pass keras-gpu externally while using command:-

 pip install keras

I think what you read meant that tensorflow programs work much faster if your computer has a GPU. You need a Nvidia GPU in your computer to install tensorflow with GPU support on your Mac and as far as I know, after version 1.2 tensorflow no longer provides GPU support for MacOS
