I can't install tensorflow on termux on android
@Noob225566 Could you please let us know if you have installed termux already and updated the packages?
Please let us know all the steps you followed which will help us to analyze this issue.
Thank you! you should do it in proot ubuntu/debian Sorry for me mistake that i type i can install tensorflow instead of i can't install tensorflow Sorry for these mistakes
Issues type is not bug i can't install tensorflow in termux in android
 Just Sorry that i accidentally closed this issue @Noob225566 Please refer to the following steps for installation of TF on termux on android;

1. Launch Termux.
2. Make sure Termux is up to dated: pkg upgrade
```
pkg upgrade
```
3. Install wget and proot: pkg install wget proot
```
pkg install wget proot
```
4. Create directory for installing ubuntu: mkdir ubuntu && cd ubuntu
```
mkdir ubuntu && cd ubuntu
```
5. Download ubuntu chroot installation script: 
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Neo-Oli/termux-ubuntu/master/ubuntu.sh
Run the installation script: bash ubuntu.sh
```
6. Now, we can start using Ubuntu by running the script: ./start-ubuntu.sh
```
chmod +x ubuntu.sh
```
```
bash ubuntu.sh
```

7. Next, we will check and install updates on the Ubuntu image.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

8. Install some prerequisites.
```
apt-get install git wget vim zip build-essential python python3 python3-dev python3-pip libhdf5-dev
```
9. Install the TensorFlow package: To install the TensorFlow package, use the following command:
```
pip install /path/to/built/tensorflow_package.whl
```
Make sure to replace /path/to/built/tensorflow_package.whl with the actual path to the built TensorFlow package.

10. Verify TensorFlow installation: It is important to verify if the installation was successful. To do this, use the following command:
```
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.__version__)"
```

Thank you!  Thanks but it is a long process i need i small process i just want to make DL models in android i thought i can't use keras without tensorflow and keras is the most important labrairy for me to make DL models can i also use keras on android with tflite instead of tensorflow can you also help me in my one more issue which is i can't install h5py in termux  If you type my h5py issues in chrome you got my issus plz help me thanks Hi @Noob225566, 

Your Query : Can i also use keras on android with tflite instead of tensorflow.
Response: As per my knowledge you can convert your keras model to tflite and can run on android. 

Your Query:  I can't install tensorflow in termux

Response: Please let us understand first, whether you want to install tensorflow or tensorflow lite on android. If you are using  selected ops in your code then you need to install tensorflow build from source(Refer[ doc ](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source)) or else if you have tflite file, install it from build source(Follow [doc](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/build_arm)) according to your android device.

 Please, let us know if it helps you.

Thank You Bro my only one question is can i use keras without tensorflow because every command i run using keras in termux i got tensorflow.comapt.v2 as tf no module found why can i fix this issue without installing tensorflow in termux i already installed tflite and theano and pytorch in termux i just wanna to use keras without tensorflow plz help me plz respond me as soon as possible also help me in my another issue that i suggested you plz respond me as soon as possible @pkgoogle,
Please look into the issue.

Thank You. What you mean by look into the issus i think no one ever read the issus completely because it is boring and hard to understand a computer issue that's why i only tell you the no module named tensorflow.compat.v2 as tf error and plz if you help me to install tensorflow in my low end android phone i really got satifies with you i have only one way to install tensorflow on android which is cloning the tensorflow library using git clone but it takes too much time and data and storage because tensorflow is a too big Library also i think it some chances of errors and couldn't work properly so plz help me to install tensorflow easily or tell me any other way to use keras without tensorflow plz respond me as soon as possible Hi @Noob225566, that previous comment was directed at me :).

As I understand it, you want to try to use Keras independent of TensorFlow? because TF is too big for your low end Android device?

keras is now available in multiple backends (that is you can switch the backend to either JAX or Pytorch) now: https://keras.io/. However 2 GB of RAM seems too small even for those alternatives. May I ask if you really want to use Keras on the android? Are you using it as an ML development machine? if so you may have better luck starting with colab: https://colab.sandbox.google.com/. Generally speaking you probably shouldn't use a mobile/edge device as a development machine but more as an inference device, which is what TF Lite is specialized for. See if you either of those 2 solutions work better for you. If they don't meet your requirements let us know and we'll see how we can help. Thanks to answer my question that i can even use keras even without installing tensorflow i have this doubt because an AI bard said me this that i need tensorflow is necessary to use keras or you can't even change its backend as you ask me if i really want to use keras on android the answer is yes i am in a middle class family in india and i am 11 years old i have a vast level of interest in programming,ML,DL and AI that's why i wanna to use keras in my mother's low end device android phone i already know programming and ML i just wanna to create small models like spam filter,image classifier and chatbots some more small or medium DL models in my mother's android phone but i have another doubt as you told me i can change keras backend but i try every possible way to change keras backend using termux (where i installed keras) but i can't do that then i see keras-core that and then which claimed it is a multi backend version of keras but i can't install keras-core in termux in android because h5py is not installed and whenever i run h5py i got a cython compile error which i can't fix can you help me plz respond me as soon as possible plz Hi @Noob225566, have you tried using keras on colab? https://colab.sandbox.google.com/ . You may want to raise an issue on the keras.io github repo: https://github.com/keras-team/keras-io, they may be able to better support your issues with changing the backend. Bro thanks to suggest me to use colab when i run this command
from keras.layers import Dense
print ("it works") 
It shows it works means there is no module error thanks for this but this is online and i wanna offline because i don't like online things well do you know about a python interpreter which name is "pydroid 3" it's my favourite python IDE because it's GUI is very simple,we can run programs in one click and it's offline but tensorflow and pytorch in pydroid 3 are for only premium which i can't afford that's why i decided to use termux but it also have issues i think colab is a good choice but can you tell me any other python IDE like pydroid 3 for Android which is similar like pydroid 3 and offline and supports keras and tensorflow for free plz respond me as soon as possible thanks Hi @Noob225566, libraries/packages (such as TF or PT) should be independent of IDEs. Termux isn't really an IDE but more of a terminal emulator on android, for IDEs in a low resource environment ... the classics like vi(m) or emacs may be more viable, I think neovim might be the better balance for features but still being low resource. That being said you still need TF working with Termux... what error are you receiving there? or do you already know that TF is too big for your system? If that's the case then IDE won't matter, which is why I recommended Colab as you get resources from Google essentially for free. I understand it may not be the ideal environment for you but I'm trying my best to help you with what you have. Is there something you feel you can't do on colab that you want to do on android/termux? Thanks for your early response you are right i already setup termux with neovim so i can get a good GUI like pydroid 3 and it works every package or library i install on termux will also works in neovim in termux that's why if i download TF in termux i can use it in neovim in termux but i know TF is too big for my low end android device well as you ask me the error i got so i wanna tell you that whenever i try to run keras in termux or neovim i got this error  (no module found tensorflow.comapt.v2 as tf) this is just a small amount of error if you ask me i can provide you full error also i can't install tensorflow using pip when i try to install TF with pip i got no module found that satisfies the requirement tensorflow that's why but now i think colab is a good choice thanks for your suggestion but the only thing i don't like about is that it is online but i wanna offline things but ok it is also helpful i wish you reply to my this chat as soon as possible now i am going to make my DL model in colab Can you try on android/termux:

```
sudo apt-get install git wget vim zip build-essential python python3 python3-dev python3-pip libhdf5-dev
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install tensorflow
```

Let me know what errors you get When i run these commands in termux in android i got these errors
ERROR: Installing pip is forbidden, this will break the python-pip package (termux).
DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/dm_tree-0.1.8-py3.11-linux-armv7l.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation.. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12330
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow
Also plz tell me i am successfull to download tensorflow from pip does it takes too much storage like even i download tensorflow from pip does it takes 700-800mb if yes so i don't wanna download tensorflow on termux plz respond me as soon as possible Hi @Noob225566, your workflow isn't really well supported. I am fairly sure the package is quite large overall maybe around the size you mention. I think the best thing for you would be to just use colab. It seems pip is having trouble finding a version of TF that works with your hardware. Is there any other message after this:

```
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow
```

You can attempt manually installing earlier versions of TF to see if any of them work (ex):
```
pip install tensorflow==2.15
```

Maybe try until 2.10 and see if any of them work. If not I don't believe we have a version which would work with your system. Bro i just wanna tensorflow to use keras because i do everything to change keras backend even i installed keras-core (multi backend version of keras) but nothing works and always say me no module named tensorflow.comapt.v2 as tf this is the problem that i wanna to fix i already have theano and pytorch installed but i can't change its backend 😭😭😭 plz help me as soon as possible Bro plz response me as soon as possible Hi @Noob225566, I don't believe TensorFlow is available for your system, please communicate with https://github.com/keras-team/keras-io to see how you may change the backend. Apologies for not being able to help further.  Yeah brother i already make a issues in keras repository i got my first respond but didn't work it's ok if you can't help me anymore if you know any interesting knowledge on my issue plz tell me also thanks for your replies and suggestion of colab thanks goodbye Hi @Noob225566, if there are no more open items for this issue, can you please close the issue as "Close as not planned" if you have no more open items? Thanks. Ok i will now closing the issus thanks for the help of you thanks
