This tutorial will show you how to install TensorFlow on Rocky Linux. According to their site<\/a>, TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries and community resources that lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML powered applications<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install TensorFlow on Rocky Linux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are various ways in which you can install TensorFlow;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install using Python PIP<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install via Docker<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Build and install from the source.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We will only discuss the PIP installation method in this guide. For other methods refer to the documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before you can proceed with installation, be sure to check on hardware<\/a>, system<\/a> and software<\/a> requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Install TensorFlow using Python PIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To install TensorFlow using Python PIP;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Install Python 3.x<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    TensorFlow requires Python 3.7-3.10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Confirm the current Python version installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    python3 -V<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Sample output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Python 3.9.7<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    If your version is lower than 3.7, you can install the required version using the package manager. Refer to the link below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Install Python on Rocky Linux 8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Install PIP on Rocky Linux<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    pip version 19.0 or higher is required. You can install PIP on Rocky Linux using the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo dnf install python3-pip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install Required Python Libraries and Virtual Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Run the command below to install required Python libraries and virtual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo dnf install python3-{virtualenv,devel}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Create TensorFlow Virtual Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Next, run the command below to install TensorFlow;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    mkdir ~\/tensorflow && cd ~\/tensorflow<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Create virtual environment, in this case we called our virtual environment, tensorflow_venv<\/strong>. You can use any name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    python3 -m venv tensorflow_venv<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Activate the virtual environment created;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    source .\/tensorflow_venv\/bin\/activate<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    You will see the shell prompt change;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    (tensorflow_venv) [kifarunix@rocky-linux ~]$<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Upgrade PIP;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    pip install --upgrade pip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Verify installed PIP version;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    pip3.9 --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    pip 22.1.1 from \/home\/kifarunix\/.local\/lib\/python3.9\/site-packages\/pip (python 3.9)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install TensorFlow using PIP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Within the virtual environment, run the command below to install TensorFlow using PIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    pip3.9 install --upgrade tensorflow<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Check installed version of TensorFlow;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    python3 -c 'import tensorflow as tf;print(tf.version.VERSION)'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Sample output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    2.9.1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    You can now use TensorFlow. Refer to the documentation<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    You can deactivate the virtual environment using the command;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    deactivate<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    You should see the shell prompt change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    And that is all on how TensorFlow can be installed on Rocky Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
