I found this to finally work.
python3 -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.12.0-py3-none-any.whl
Edit 1: This was tested on Windows (8, 8.1, 10), Mac and Linux. Change python3 to python according to your configuration. Change py3 to py2 in the url if you are using Python 2.x.
Edit 2: A list of different versions if someone needs: https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow
Edit 3: A list of urls for the available wheel packages is available here: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#package-location
You need a 64-bit version of Python and in your case are using a 32-bit version. As of now Tensorflow only supports 64-bit versions of Python 3.5.x and 3.8.x on Windows. See the install docs to see what is currently supported
To check which version of Python you are running, type python or python3 to start the interpreter, and then type import struct;print(struct.calcsize("P") * 8) and that will print either 32 or 64 to tell you which bit version of Python you are running.
From comments:
To download a different version of Python for Windows, go to python.org/downloads/windows and scroll down until you see the version you want that ends in a "64". That will be the 64 bit version that should work with tensorflow
You need to use the right version of Python and pip.
On Windows 10, with Python 3.6.X version I was facing the same problem, then after checking deliberately I noticed I had the Python-32 bit installation on my 64 bit machine. Remember TensorFlow is only compatible with 64bit installation of Python, not the 32 bit version of Python
If we download Python from python.org, the default installation would be 32 bit. So we have to download the 64 bit installer manually to install Python 64 bit. And then add below to PATH environment.
C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36
C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts
Then run gpupdate /Force on command prompt. If the Python command doesn't work for 64 bit then restart your machine.
Then run python on command prompt. It should show 64 bit.
C:\Users\YOURNAME>python
Python 3.6.3 (v3.6.3:2c5fed8, Oct 3 2017, 18:11:49) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Then run below command to install tensorflow CPU version (recommended)
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
Tensorflow now supports Python 3.5.x through Python 3.8.x, but you still have to use a 64-bit version.
If you need to run multiple versions of Python on the same machine, you can use a virtual environment to help manage them.
If you are trying to install it on a windows machine you need to have a 64-bit version of python 3.5. This is the only way to actually install it. From the website:
TensorFlow supports only 64-bit Python 3.5 on Windows. We have tested the pip packages with the following distributions of Python:
Python 3.5 from Anaconda
Python 3.5 from python.org.
You can download the proper version of python from here (make sure you grab one of the ones that says "Windows x86-64")
You should now be able to install with pip install tensorflow or python -m pip install tensorflow (make sure that you are using the right pip, from python3, if you have both python2 and python3 installed)
Remember to install Anaconda 3-5.2.0 as the latest version which is 3-5.3.0 have python version 3.7 which is not supported by Tensorflow.
Updated 11/28/2016: TensorFlow is now available in PyPI, starting with release 0.12. You can type
pip install tensorflow
...or...
pip install tensorflow-gpu
...to install the CPU-only or GPU-accelerated version of TensorFlow respectively.
Previous answer: TensorFlow is not yet in the PyPI repository, so you have to specify the URL to the appropriate "wheel file" for your operating system and Python version.
The full list of supported configurations is listed on the TensorFlow website, but for example, to install version 0.10 for Python 2.7 on Linux, using CPU only, you would type the following command:
$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.10.0rc0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
Install Python 3.5.x 64 bit amd version here. Make sure you add Python to your PATH variable. Then open a command prompt and type
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
should give you the following result :
Collecting pip
Using cached pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: pip
Found existing installation: pip 7.1.2
Uninstalling pip-7.1.2:
Successfully uninstalled pip-7.1.2
Successfully installed pip-9.0.1
Now type
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
I had the same problem and solved with this:

UPDATE!
There are new links for new versions
For example, for installing tensorflow v1.0.0 in OSX you need to use:
https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py2-none-any.whl
instead of
https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-py2-none-any.whl
I had the same error when trying to install on my Mac (using Python 2.7). A similar solution to the one I'm giving here also seemed to work for Python 3 on Windows 8.1 according to a different answer on this page by Yash Kumar Verma
Solution
Step 1: go to The URL of the TensorFlow Python package section of the TensorFlow installation page and copy the URL of the relevant link for your Python installation.
Step 2: open a terminal/command prompt and run the following command:pip install --upgrade [paste copied url link here]
So for me it was the following:pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.2.0-py2-none-any.whl
Update (July 21 2017): I tried this with some others who were running on Windows machines with Python 3.6 and they had to change the line in Step 2 to:
python -m pip install [paste copied url link here]
Update (26 July 2018): For Python 3.6.2 (not 3.7 because it's in 3.6.2 in TF Documentation), you can also use pip3 install --upgrade [paste copied URL here] in Step 2.
Try this:
export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-py3-none-any.whl
pip3 install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL
Source: https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup (page no longer exists)
Update 2/23/17 Documentation moved to: https://www.tensorflow.org/install
This works for windows 10.0
I had the same problem. After uninstalling the 32-bit version of python and reinstalling the 64-bit version I tried reinstalling TensorFlow and it worked.
Link to TensorFlow guide: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows
If you run into this issue recently (say, after Python 3.7 release in 2018), most likely this is caused by the lack of Python 3.7 support (yet) from the tensorflow side. Try using Python 3.6 instead if you don't mind. There are some tricks you can find from https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/20444, but use them at your own risk. I used the one harpone suggested - first downloaded the tensorflow wheel for Python 3.6 and then renamed it manually...
cp tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl tensorflow-1.11.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
pip install tensorflow-1.11.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
The good news is that there is a pull request for 3.7 support already. Hope it will be released soon.
There are multiple groups of answers to this question. This answer aims to generalize one group of answers:
There may not be a version of TensorFlow that is compatible with your version of Python. This is particularly true if you're using a new release of Python. For example, there may be a delay between the release of a new version of Python and the release of TensorFlow for that version of Python.
In this case, I believe your options are to:
conda install python=3.6)pip install tensorflow==2.0If you are using the Anaconda Python installation, pip install tensorflow will give the error stated above, shown below:
Collecting tensorflow
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow
According to the TensorFlow installation page, you will need to use the --ignore-installed flag when running pip install.
However, before this can be done see this link to ensure the TF_BINARY_URL variable is set correctly in relation to the desired version of TensorFlow that you wish to install.
If you're trying to install tensorflow in anaconda and it isn't working, then you may need to downgrade python version because only 3.6.x is currently supported while anaconda has the latest version.
check python version: python --version
if version > 3.6.x then follow step 3, otherwise stop, the problem may be somewhere else
conda search python
conda install python=3.6.6
Check version again: python --version
If version is correct, install tensorflow (step 7)
pip install tensorflow
Following these steps allows you to install tensorflow and keras:
Download Anaconda3-5.2.0 which comes with python 3.6 from https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/
Install Anaconda and open Anaconda Prompt and execute below commands
conda install jupyter
conda install scipy
pip install sklearn
pip install msgpack
pip install pandas
pip install pandas-datareader
pip install matplotlib
pip install pillow
pip install requests
pip install h5py
pip install tensorflow
pip install keras
Unfortunately my reputation is to low to command underneath @Sujoy answer.
In their docs they claim to support python 3.6. The link provided by @mayur shows that their is indeed only a python3.5 wheel package. This is my try to install tensorflow:

C:\>python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

C:\>python3 -m pip install --upgrade tensorflow
Collecting tensorflow

while python 3.5 seems to install successfully. I would love to see a python3.6 version since they claim it should also work on python3.6.
Quoted :
"TensorFlow supports Python 3.5.x and 3.6.x on Windows. Note that Python 3 comes with the pip3 package manager, which is the program you'll use to install TensorFlow."

I hope i am terrible wrong here but if not ring a alarm bell 😛
Edit: A couple of posts below someone pointed out that the following command would work and it did.
python3 -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl
Strange pip is not working 🤔
update 2019: for install the preview version of TensorFlow 2 in Google Colab you can use:
!wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.0/Prod/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64 -O cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64.deb
!dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64.deb
!apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48/7fa2af80.pub
!apt-get update
!apt-get install cuda
!pip install tf-nightly-gpu-2.0-preview
and for install the TensorFlow 2 bye pip you can use:
pip install tf-nightly-gpu-2.0-preview for GPU and
pip install tf-nightly-2.0-preview
for CPU.
Tensorflow DOES NOT support python versions after 3.8 as of when I'm writing this at least (December 2020). Use this: https://www.tensorflow.org/install to check what python versions it supports, I just spent hours looking through these answers, took me way too long to realise that.
