title: How to install tensor flow on Linux
body: <p>On the main TensorFlow website, you must specifically enable the gpu: </p>
  
  <pre><code># Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, GPU enabled:
  $ sudo pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.7.1-cp34-none-linux_x86_64.whl
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>On the anaconda website, you only have to install tensor flow, but there is no indication whether this is the GPU or CPU version: </p>
  
  <pre><code>conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/jjhelmus tensorflow
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>After running the Anaconda command, I decided that I needed to make sure that it was the GPU version, so I tried to run the pip command inside the anaconda folder. </p>
  
  <p>When I ran the pip command, I got the following error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>tensorflow-0.7.1-cp34-none-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I have no idea what a wheel is...but I have a newish laptop with a multicore i7 (July last year) and a laptop nvidia card with a compute rating of 5.2 and CUDA installed (Ubuntu 15.10).</p>
  
  <p>There must be a version that is compatible with my specs.  </p>
  
  <p>How do I upgrade my tensor flow install to the GPU version?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>When I run: <code>import pip; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())</code>, the supported wheels include </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>cp35</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But the wheel that is available for TensorFlow is cp34...so does that mean TensorFlow on the GPU does not work for my computer?</p>
