## Install

See the [TensorFlow install guide](https://www.tensorflow.org/install) for the
[pip package](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip), to
[enable GPU support](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu), use a
[Docker container](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/docker), and
[build from source](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source).

To install the current release, which includes support for
[CUDA-enabled GPU cards](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu) *(Ubuntu and
Windows)*:

```
 pip install tensorflow
```

Other devices (DirectX and MacOS-metal) are supported using
[Device Plugins](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu_plugins#available_devices).

A smaller CPU-only TensorFlow package is also available:

```
 pip install tensorflow-cpu
```

To update TensorFlow to the latest version, add the `--upgrade` flag to the
commands above.

*Nightly binaries are available for testing using the
[tf-nightly](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tf-nightly) and
[tf-nightly-cpu](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tf-nightly-cpu) packages on PyPI.*

#### *Try your first TensorFlow program*

```shell
$ python
```

```python
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.add(1, 2).numpy()
3
>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
>>> hello.numpy()
b'Hello, TensorFlow!'
```

For more examples, see the
[TensorFlow Tutorials](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/).
