In my case, my machine has integrated graphics card, I have Nvidia GeForce 940MX Graphic card in my render option. So I can able to install Tensorflow (for GPU).

STEP 1: Download Anaconda (Python)

Download Anaconda for Python: Anaconda – Windows system.
From under Python 3.6 version, choose either 64-Bit or 32-Bit as per your system type. As Python 3.6 version is compatible for working on the Tensorflow library. You can go for the Python 2.7 version, if you just want to train machine learning models and not the complex deep learning model which needs high computational power.

Suppose, if you got confused for the below installation procedure, please read the NOTE.

NOTE: Select the first option if you want to run the conda also in the cmd ie. system’s command prompt. Otherwise, don’t select the first option; as the default is Anaconda prompt to run the conda, python scripts and tensorflow library. I recommend not to select the first option, just select the second option and click install. If needed, we can edit environmental variables later to add Anaconda to the system path.

Command Prompt not recognising the conda list, python and jupyter notebook.

In future, if you want to run the conda also in the cmd, you will need to add the path of conda and python by editing the system environment variables, so as to get recognised by the system’s command prompt.
After the Installation gets completed, just search Anaconda Prompt in the system search bar and click it and the Anaconda Prompt starts.

Find out the path of conda and python from Anaconda Prompt:

Add the below paths to environment variables, to run conda in cmd.
C:UsersnatasAnaconda3
C:UsersnatasAnaconda3Scripts

STEP 3: Run and Check the Update for Anaconda

Run the commands – conda list, python and jupyter notebook in Anaconda Prompt as shown in the fig.

conda install jupyter

My jupyter notebook was already installed!

jupyter notebook

The conda and python commands are working that means their path is saved sucessfully and now we are ready to update python libraries. 

Jupyter notebook opens in a default browser.

Open a new Anaconda Prompt. And update the conda:

conda update conda
conda update --all

Installation process for Tensorflow with CPU support only: (In either cmd or anaconda prompt)

If you didn’t have Nvidia Graphics card with GPU support, you can proceed to the below given some commands; in order to install tensorflow with CPU support. 

conda install scipy

pip install sklearn

pip install pandas

pip install pandas-datareader

pip install matplotlib

pip install pillow

pip install requests

pip install h5py

pip install --upgrade tensorflow

Now run the sample tensorflow code in either python shell by typing “idle” in the Anaconda Prompt or  by calling “jupyter notebook”.

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

To install Tensorflow with GPU support:

Make sure you have C++ compiler installed in your machine separately. Or download Microsoft Visual Studio Community Edition in which C++ compiler comes by default, as a supporter for various applications.

Download Microsoft Visual Studio:

STEP 4: Installation of CUDA Tookit & cuDNN

For CUDA Toolkit:

Check which CUDA version is capable for your GPU for installation. I’ve downloaded CUDA Toolkit 9.0 for my Windows 10 machine. First, download the base installer and then download the latest patch. Overall CUDA toolkit Installation process may take upto 10mins.

To know more about system requirements, just read the CUDA Toolkit Documentation.

After CUDA Toolkit installation, make sure to update Nvidia Graphic Drivers. Join as the Nvidia developer by setting up an account. Then search for your Nvidia GPU’s drivers for download.
In my case, my system has Nvidia GEFORCE support.

For cuDNN:

NVIDIA cuDNN is a GPU-accelerated library of primitives for deep neural networks.
Download cuDNN
In order to download cuDNN, ensure you are registered for the NVIDIA Developer Program.

Go to: NVIDIA cuDNN home page. Click Download. Complete the short survey and click Submit. Do accept the Terms and Conditions. A list of available download versions of cuDNN displays.

As per my system’s GPU requirement, I’ve downloaded cuDNN v7.1.4 (May 16, 2018), for CUDA 9.0 ie. cuDNN v7.1.4 Library for Windows 10. You choose cuDNN version as per your system’s requirement. It gets downloaded in the .zip formate. Paste the .zip in the Windows(C) path and extract it into the folder.

STEP 5: Create an conda Environment

Before commanding on prompt; you need to copy the bin, include and lib folders of the cuDNN unzipped folder. And paste it under the CUDA’s path (ie.C:Program FilesNVIDIA GPU Computing ToolkitCUDAv9.0) by replacing on CUDA’s bin, include and lib folders.

Now you’ll need to create an conda Environment for Tensorflow (GPU) in Anaconda Prompt.
