Installing Tensorflow on Pycharm (Mac)

install_tensorflow_pycharm_mac.md

• In Pycharm, Preferences -> Project Interpreter -> Create VirtualEnv -> <your_virtualenv_name_and_location>, and select "inherit global site-packages" option -> OK.
• In command line, install tensorflow in the virtualenv location you created in previous step. For the above case, let's assume the location is ~/tensorflow_pycharm, therefore, run command virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 ~/tensorflow_pycharm or python3 -m venv ~/tensorflow_pycharm(changed in version 3.5: the use of venv is now recommended for creating virtual environments).
• Install tensorflow with one of the following approaches:
  • From command line
    • Activate the virtualenv environment by issuing one of the following commands: source ~/tensorflow_pycharm/bin/activate
    • Issue the following command to install TensorFlow and all the packages that TensorFlow requires into the active Virtualenv environment: pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow.
    • In PyCharm, select the configured Project Interpreter at ~/tensorflow_pycharm
  • From PyCharm
    • In PyCharm, select the previously created Project Interpreter (~/tensorflow_pycharm), and click + button and search for tensorflow, and then double click to install the package.
• Now you are ready to play with tensorflow from PyCharm.

@micolsi probably you are using python 3.7, see this issue tensorflow/tensorflow#20444

@micolsi you can downgrade to python 3.6

# Install the latest Python 3.6 via brew using its commit id
brew unlink python
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/f2a764ef944b1080be64bd88dca9a1d80130c558/Formula/python.rb

# switch among different versions if needed
brew switch python 3.7.0
brew switch python 3.6.5_1
