TensorFlow on Windows: "not a supported wheel on this platform" error

You must have a 3.5.x version of Python. The 3.6 version won't work. If you have installed an Anaconda that contains Python 3.6, you need to downgrade its Python to 3.5.2.

Open the Anaconda Prompt as administrator, and run:

conda install python=3.5.2

After the installation is finished, you can follow the rest of the steps on tensorflow website.


It's only available for Python 3.5.x not 3.6.

You can quickly create a 3.5 environment with: conda create -n tensorflow python=3.5


Do you have Python and Anaconda installed? I had a similar issue until I uninstalled Anaconda and then the setup was fine.


This is most likely to be a 64-bit versus 32-bit issue. The pre-built TensorFlow pip package is 64-bit only, but the default version of Python 3.5.2 on Python.org is 32-bit. You can download the 64-bit release from here (select one of the "Windows x86-64" options).
