Hands-On Convolutional Neural Networks with TensorFlow

Checking whether your installation works

Now that you have installed TensorFlow, let's check whether it works correctly. In your Command Prompt, activate your environment again if it isn't already, and run Python by entering the following:

    (tf_env)$ python

Now, enter the following lines into the Python interpreter to test that TensorFlow is installed correctly:

 >>>> import tensorflow as tf >>>> x = tf.constant('Tensorflow works!') >>>> sess = tf.Session() >>>> sess.run(x)

If everything is installed correctly, you should see the following output:

 

b'Tensorflow works!'

What you just typed there is the Hello World of TensorFlow. You created a graph containing a single tf.constant, which is just a constant Tensor. The Tensor was inferred to ...
