Official Tensorflow releases

Posted 13 August 2018 by Ben Nuttall

We’re pleased to announce the immediate availability of Tensorflow 1.9 for Raspberry Pi, as officially supported by the Tensorflow team at Google.

Install Tensorflow now on your Raspberry Pi:

sudo apt install libatlas3-base
sudo pip3 install tensorflow

This news was originally announced by Pete Warden, software engineer at Google:

We now have prebuilt binaries for @TensorFlow on the @Raspberry_Pi, so you can use pip to install 1.9 in a few seconds! https://t.co/K2nNdYgUX0
Big thanks to @ben_nuttall and all the other Pi community members who helped make this happen.

Tensorflow is available for Python 3.7, 3.4 and 3.5 and works on any Raspberry Pi model. Read more in Pete’s Medium post and see the official documentation.

We’re really excited to see what people do with Tensorflow on the Raspberry Pi now that an easy installation is available.

Unlike all other packages on piwheels at present, Tensorflow was not built by the piwheels team. It was built by Google and submitted directly to us for inclusion.

Happy Tensorflowing!
