Tensorflow GPU Requires python 3.6 and associated version specific dependencies which are included in this module.
To create the required anaconda environment run
conda env create -f conda_environment.yml
This installs the required environment in your default environment path
If you wish to install the conda environment in another location you can use the -p flag and run:
conda env create -f conda_environment.yml -p /home/user/anaconda3/envs/env_name
where env_name is the desired environment name. This is rumored to work, and if it does please let me know.
To see if your installation is correct run:
conda env list
This will show all installed environments with an asterisk showing your current one.
To use the newly installed environment run:
source activate tensorflow_gpu
Before training there is a delay of a vew minutes as experienced by this user: tensorflow/tensorflow#18652
But it should still work.
