I am trying to run this statement in MacOS.

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

It just stuck at the 

Solving Environment:

Never finish.

$ conda --version
conda 4.5.12

    How many packages already exist in the environment? The most likely solution to this is to install tensorflow in a fresh environmnet. – darthbith Jan 20 '19 at 02:35

    Even then, I've occasionally known conda to take a l o o o o n g time at the Solving Environment stage. I'd leave it an hour or more before concluding it's really stuck. – nekomatic Jan 21 '19 at 09:32

Nothing worked untill i ran this in conda terminal:

conda upgrade conda

Note that this was for poppler (conda install -c conda-forge poppler)

On win10 I waited about 5-6 minutes but it depends of the number of installed python packages and your internet connection. Also you can install it via Anaconda Navigator

One can also resolve the "Solving environment" issue by using the mamba package manager.

I installed tensorflow-gpu==2.6.2 on Linux (CentOS Stream 8) using the following commands

conda create --name deeplearning python=3.8
conda activate deeplearning
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba install -c conda-forge tensorflow-gpu

To check the successful usage of GPU, simply run either of the commands

  • python -c "import tensorflow as tf;print('\n\n\n====================== \n GPU Devices: ',tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'), '\n======================')"
  • python -c "import tensorflow as tf;print('\n\n\n====================== \n', tf.reduce_sum(tf.random.normal([1000, 1000])), '\n======================' )"

The same error happens with me .I've tried to install tensorboard with anaconda prompt but it was stuck on the environment solving .So i've added these paths to my environment variables:

C:\Anaconda3 

C:\Anaconda3\Library\mingw-w64\bin

C:\Anaconda3\Library\usr\bin

C:\Anaconda3\Library\bin

C:\Anaconda3\Scripts

and it worked well.

Follow the instruction by nekomatic.

I left it running for 1 hour. Yes. it is finally finished.

But now I got the conflicts

Solving environment: failed

  - anaconda==2018.12=py37_0 -> bleach==3.0.2=py37_0
