How do install tensor flow gpu? - centos

Question

I am currently having some problems installing tensor flow with gpu support.
This is the guide i've followed.
Install NVIDIA CUDA (preinstalled)
Install NVIDIA cuDNN (preinstalled)
Install bazel
wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/0.4.3/bazel-0.4.3-installer-linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x bazel-0.4.3-installer-linux-x86_64.sh
./bazel-0.4.3-installer-linux-x86_64.sh --user
install tensor flow from source
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow
cd tensorflow/
./configure
bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
the last one don't finish.. or it does.. it comes up with an error message
a#fe1:~/tensorflow$ bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
.

Server finished RPC without an explicit exit code
after this should i be able to do this
bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tenso
rflow_pkg
according to the guide, but is not possible.
i've previously had tensor flow cpu version running, but since the need of gpu were sincerely pressing i decided to install it... but didn't think it would be this troublesome..
any idea on why it is not possible to build it?
os:centOS 7.1
gpu:nvidea

Answer 1

I've had problems attemping to install Tensorflow from source using Bazel as well.It could be that the current bazel build has problems,since that occured in the past with me.It would help if you provided us with information about your system(OS & GPU),but you're probably better off using pip(or pip3) and doing sudo pip(3) install tensorflow-gpu.
