Python – An error occurred while trying to import Tensorflow in Anaconda

I installed TensorFlow with pip3 and verified with it

# Python
import tensorflow as tf
hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
sess = tf. Session()
print(sess.run(hello))

And everything works fine in the terminal. However, when I try to import tensorflow in Anaconda, it throws an error:

import tensorflow as tf

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

I

tried something I found on the internet and that’s what I got :

1. When I try a command like this

   conda update --all
   

   I get “conda: command not found”. The same is true in the terminal and in the Anaconda prompt.
   But if I enter in the terminal

   zsh
   conda info
   

   Effective

2. If I change “Applications on…” in Anaconda from root to tensorflow, it doesn’t help.

   Screenshot showing “Application on TensorFlow”:

   

I think I downloaded and installed the GPU version of tensorflow

3. by mistake, but I uninstalled tensorflow and reinstalled the CPU version.

I’m using OS X Sierra and Anaconda 4.4.10. How should I deal with this? I only have a basic understanding of terminals.

Search for Anaconda Prompt from the Start menu. Right-click on it and select Run as administrator. In the terminal that opens, type:

conda install tensorflow

This worked for me.
