I'm having the hardest time getting Tensorflow to install on my Mac and I've tried several approaches. Searching the internet for solutions led to recreating my Conda environments, trying pip, uninstalling things and trying again, downgrading Python, etc. Now I'm hoping someone can recreate my problem or see what I hope to be something very stupid I'm doing that makes this not work on my machine. First, here is the problem. import tensorflow as tf from tensorflow.keras import layers, Sequential from tensorflow.keras.optimizers import Adam results in { "name": "ModuleNotFoundError", "message": "No module named 'tensorflow.keras'", "stack": "--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[16], line 20 17 from xgboost import XGBRegressor 19 import tensorflow as tf ---> 20 from tensorflow.keras import layers, Sequential 21 from tensorflow.keras.optimizers import Adam ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.keras'" } In this current iteration of attempting to fix the problem, here are my settings.

I've tried both updating and downgrading tensorflow and keras. Originally I was using Python 3.12.x, but I learned that was a no-no. Downgrading Python to 3.11.10 didn't work either, but the tensorflow documentation suggests that it's compatible with 3.11. The environment cpsproject is my third iteration of my virtual environment and it's the second iteration where I started by installing tensorflow first in hopes that any conflicts would be hashed out by Conda with subsequent package additions. That didn't work either, and that's the latest state I'm at now. Continue reading...
