Install tensorflow on ubuntu


  • There are different mechanisms.

             virtusalenv
             "native" pip
             docker
             anaconda


  • virtualenv is the recommended mechanism



  • virtualenv is a virtual python environment isolated from other python development



  • incapable of interfering with or being affected by other python programs on the same machine



  • during the virtualenv installation process, you will install not  only tensorflow but also the packages that the tensorflow requires.



  • To start working with tensorflow you simply need to activate the virtual enviornment.



  • all in all, virtualenv provides a safe and reliable mechanism for installing and running tensorflow.


Steps


  • install pip,dev and virtualenv


for python 2.7

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python-virtualenv


  • create a virtualenv environment inside home


for python 2.7

virtualenv --system-site-packages tensorflow


  • activate theh virtualenv enviornment


source ~/tensorflow/bin/activate

or

 source ~/tensorflow/bin/activate.csh


  • ensure pip>=8.1 is installed


easy_install -U pip


  • install tensorflow in the active vitusalenv enviornment


for python 2.7

pip install --upgrade tensorflow


  • you must activate the virtusalenv environment each time you use tensorflow


source ~/tensorflow/bin/activate

or

 source ~/tensorflow/bin/activate.csh


  • when virtualenv environment is active you may run tensorflow programs from this shell



  • deactivate the virtualenv enviornment



deactivate



  • uninstall tensorflow


remove the tree you created

rm -r tensorflow

Keras Sequential Model Creating the model | Specifying input size and batch size | specifying the activation function Sequential Model : Linear stack of layers. Create a Sequential Model by passing the layer instances to the constructor. Import sequential model from Keras models. from keras.models import Sequential Import dense layer and activation function from keras layers  from keras.layers import Dense, Activation Create sequential model  Input = can be of any dimension or a single element Shape = length along each dimension of the input Model needs to know the input shape it expects. Only the first layer of the sequential model should know its input shape.
