Cannot install tensorflow ver 2.3.0 (distribution not found)

I am working on a Deep Learning class, the tensorflow over there is 2.3.0

This is the error when i try pip install tensorflow==2.3.0

"ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==2.3.0 (from versions: 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.6.0rc0, 2.6.0rc1, 2.6.0rc2, 2.6.0, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.6.3, 2.6.4, 2.6.5, 2.7.0rc0, 2.7.0rc1, 2.7.0, 2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.7.3, 2.7.4, 2.8.0rc0, 2.8.0rc1, 2.8.0, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3, 2.8.4, 2.9.0rc0, 2.9.0rc1, 2.9.0rc2, 2.9.0, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 2.9.3, 2.10.0rc0, 2.10.0rc1, 2.10.0rc2, 2.10.0rc3, 2.10.0, 2.10.1, 2.11.0rc0, 2.11.0rc1, 2.11.0rc2, 2.11.0, 2.11.1, 2.12.0rc0, 2.12.0rc1, 2.12.0, 2.12.1, 2.13.0rc0, 2.13.0rc1, 2.13.0rc2, 2.13.0, 2.13.1, 2.14.0rc0, 2.14.0rc1, 2.14.0, 2.14.1, 2.15.0rc0, 2.15.0rc1, 2.15.0, 2.15.1, 2.16.0rc0, 2.16.1) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==2.3.0"

I have two questions:

  1. Why the distribution of 2.3.0 no longer available?
  2. In this case, how do we install 2.3.0?

Thank you

Solution

  • Tensorflow 2.3.0 is still available, but TF 2.3.0 was released for Python 3.5-3.8. From the versions displayed to you, it seems that you are using Python 3.9. So, to install this specific version you need to downgrade the Python version. Another option is to use a newer version of TF that supports your current Python version.

    The information about the build configurations for Tensorflow can be found here and you can also check the wheels for the version 2.3.0 at this link which will indicate Python 3.5-3.8.
