tensorflow package installation issue

Snehal_Patel · September 27, 2020, 1:20am

I'm trying to install and load keras and tensorflow in RStudio. I'm using the most current version of R (Version 4.0.2) and RStudio (Version 1.3.1093). I also installed Anaconda and updated Conda to Version 4.8.5. When I try to install and load, I get the warnings and error message below. My questions are

Why am I getting the warning despite having installed the latest version of Conda?
Why does "installation complete" when I run install_tensorflow , but when I run tf$tenserflow("Hello World!"), I get an error stating "TensorFlow not found"?

Thank you in advance.

You can install TensorFlow using the install_tensorflow() function.

Anaconda is a brilliant package manager for Python. It is a consistent failure for R.

Yes, this entire process of trying to use keras in R has been a waste of time. I'm switching to python for ML applications.
