I'm trying to install tensorflow-gpu where the version is 2.0.0-alpha0. I've tried these two specific commands:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-gpu==2.0.0-alpha0 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow-gpu==2.0.0-alpha0
However the tensorflow-gpu page on pypi definitely has version 2.0.0-alpha0. I know I can build from source or download the package directly from pypi, but I'd prefer to understand why this is happening.
What am I doing incorrectly? I've also tried the above commands with pip 18.1 and 19.0.3 to the same end.

--pre Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.
The actual version is 2.0.0a0, not 2.0.0-alpha0. You want:
pip install --pre tensorflow-gpu==2.0.0a0
You also need to run this on a compatible Windows or Linux system. The project only publishes releases for:
