How can I install TensorFlow in the base (root) environment? The only instructions I can find to set up Tensorflow in Anaconda have me create a new environment called tf as shown here:
conda create -n tf tensorflow,
conda activate tf
Then when I run my code, I get
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow'.
It seems that the Tensorflow module is not being found when it is in the tf environment.
You should activate your base environment first, and then install tensorflow
conda activate base # activate some environment (here - base)
pip install tensorflow # install tensorflow (can be done via conda too, beware of cpu/gpu versions)
This
conda create -n tf tensorflow
creates new environment via conda create -n tf and any names after that like tensorflow are packages that you want to install in new environment. These packages will be available only in this particular environment. You always install packages in a single environment that is active in the moment.
