Installing on a Pi3 with pip about tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi

[samjabrahams]

Thanks for posting this- could you run this command and quickly let me know what it says?

pip --version

Most of the time I've seen errors like that in other projects, it's a bug related to using Python 3 instead of Python 2 or vice versa.

Hi Sam Amazing response time!!! pip –version produces pip 8.1.0 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5) John From: Sam Abrahams Sent: Monday, March 21, 2016 5:00 PM To: samjabrahams/tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi Cc: jfperez Subject: Re: [tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi] Installing on a Pi3 (#2) Thanks for posting this- could you run this command and quickly let me know what it says? pip --version Most of the time I've seen errors like that in other projects, it's a bug related to using Python 3 instead of Python 2 or vice versa. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

That would appear to be the culprit! Because the wheel is built in Python 2.7, it won't allow you to install using Python 3. Luckily, there should be a pretty easy solution. Try this command, and let me know if it works:

sudo pip2 install tensorflow-0.7.1-cp27-none-linux_armv7l.whl

No problem- thanks for posting this. I'll make a note about this issue in the installation section of the README.
