When I install TensorFlow.jl under Julia 0.6.1 for 64 bit Windows I get this error:

Fetching package metadata …  
Solving package specifications: .

**UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:**  
\*\* - python 2.7\*\*\*

Use “conda info ” to see the dependencies for each package.

Any ideas?

Thanks

TensorFlow.jl does not currently support windows: [https://github.com/malmaud/TensorFlow.jl/issues/204](https://github.com/malmaud/TensorFlow.jl/issues/204)

I tried Windows Subsystem for Linux and apparently Tensorflow does not support that either… time to get an Intel NUC and put Ubuntu on it!

I was really hopeful that TensorFlow.jl would support Linux Subsystem for Windows.

Can you please raise an issue with full details on the github repo?

Hi all,

I’m using JuliaPro-0.6.3.1 on Windows 10.

I’ve received “TensorFlow.jl doesn’t support Windows” using Julia\>Pkg.add(“TensorFlow”).  
Then I’ve used Julia\>Pkg.build(“TensorFlow”). But I’ve received the same error.

Similar problem for installing MXNet.jl.

Any idea.

Thanks

Deb

I encountered the same problem. I used [flux.jl](https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl) at last which is extremely easy to install. TensorFlow.jl should be a very useful package. It’s a pity that it does not support Windows.

As you might suspect the reason you get that error is because TensorFlow.jl doesn’t support windows.

I spent a day trying. You can find the PR.  
It segfaults for basic operations.  
I don’t have the time to try and debug weird issues with libtensorflow.DLL

Anyone is welcome to give it a shot and make a PR.  
It should be trivial, in theory.  
Just download the windows library binary.
