tensorflow: Cannot remove entries from nonexistent

Hello everyone

I am using Anaconda on Mac OS 10.11

I created a new environment with anaconda

conda create -n tensorflow python

Then tried to install tensorflow

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.6.0-py2-none-any.whl

but I faced an error

Installing collected packages: six, setuptools, protobuf, numpy, tensorflow
  Found existing installation: setuptools 19.1.1
**Cannot remove entries from nonexistent file /Users/qdang/anaconda/envs/tensorflow/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth**

How could I install tensorflow with anaconda python 2.7?

Btw, I have CUDA 3.0 (Nvidia 750M) with my Macbook? How could I utilize its power other than running only on CPU mode?

Thanks,

@osdf - yeah I hit this too. Used the following to solve it when using conda (after I already successfully installed using the ubuntu pip directly) so that I had iPython notebook (Jupyter) installed.

List conda environments $ conda env list

Enable a conda environment… $ source activate [your env or root]

check python… $ which python … this should be something like ~/anaconda2/bin/python

$ pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.6.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

… got the error above, so added the --ignore-installed flag per https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2751

$ pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.6.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl --ignore-installed

… everything was successful…

$ python >>> import tensorflow

… success and back in business!

See here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2751. Possible work-around: pip install --upgrade --I setuptools

Both solutions worked for me: 1.

pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.7.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

pip install --upgrade -I setuptools

export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/gpu/tensorflow-0.10.0rc0-py3-none-any.whl
sudo pip3 install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-cp35-none-any.whl

The solution is posted here

It is for tensorflow 0.5.0 but still works with version 0.6.0
