Import TensorFlow not working 'could not find dll '

When I installed TensorFlow using pip. It worked but when I run the code:

import tensorflow as tf

It showed me the error

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Could not find the DLL(s) 'msvcp140_1.dll'. TensorFlow requires that these DLLs be installed in a directory that is named in your %PATH% environment variable. You may install these DLLs by downloading "Microsoft C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" for your platform from this URL: https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

I went to the manual page tensorflow.org/install/pip but I could not understand how to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. How can I solve this problem?

If you are using tensorflow-GPU then you must install Nvidia Cuda for this purpose.

The proper version of Cuda must be installed check the TensorFlow website for the Cuda versions corresponding to different TensorFlow versions.

After proper installation, it should work.

If you are not having GPU in your PC.

Use normal TensorFlow

My suggestion is if you are a beginner try google colab.
