pip3 install tensorflow-gpu installs tensorflow version 1.14.0

Question

I am trying to install Tensorflow 2.0. These are the commands that I am running:

$ pip3 install tensorflow-gpu

When I open a Python Console (in Jetbrains PyCharm)

import tensorflow as tf

I'm immediately hit with a bunch of deprecation warnings:

When I try to check the version of Tensorflow via:

tf.__version__

It outputs:

'1.14.0'

I am new to Python, and I'm not sure what the problem is.

Answer 1

python3 -m pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu>=2

I really don't have an explanation why it doesn't install 2.0 normally. There shouldn't be any difference between these commands, but this one worked and pip3 install did not.

Also, it is a good idea to update pip itself first:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

UPD, root cause: TF2 requires pip 19. Simple pip upgrade should help in most cases.

In addition, in one of recent versions pip3 executable was corrupted, which was fixed by using python3 -m pip. This issue is already fixed.
