Hello guy and good morning, my name is Ebong Kavin and I’m a Cameroonian from birth. I recently faced numerous challenges while attempting to install TensorFlow, xgboost etc strong text in Jupyter Notebook using Anaconda. Each step felt overwhelming, strong text as I encountered various errors related to dependencies and environment configurations. Despite my efforts to follow guides and take small steps, I often found myself stuck, unable to progress. It was a frustrating experience, but it taught me the importance of patience and perseverance in machine learning. I encourage others to share their experiences and tips, as we can learn so much from each other’s journeys in mastering these complex tools.

Thank you Mr. Lukmanaj, have ever encounter such situation before and what measures did you take to solve the pending problem?
I can totally relate, @Ebong! When I was starting out, I faced similar issues. What really helped me was learning to carefully read the error messages and research the terms or issues I didn’t understand.
Additionally, I found it useful to break the process down—one step at a time. For instance, focusing first on setting up the environment correctly before installing packages. Another key tip is to manage your mindset: instead of getting frustrated, I began to expect errors as part of the learning process and saw them as opportunities to grow.
Finally, engaging with communities like this one, where you can ask questions and get quick guidance, can be incredibly helpful. It’s all about persistence and staying curious!

If your issue is related to error with dependencies, then I would suggest that please check the version of python, may be when you install tensorflow by jupyter notebook then it may be install to some other location, I have faced this issue. You can face this issue when you use anaconda jupyter notebook and have installed python separately. I hope it will help you to debug your problem.

I’ve done all the above mentions but still didn’t work on an anaconda (^-^)
Hello Lukmanaj,
Which software are you actually using for your machine learning projects and how did you install the software. For me, everything I try to do with Anaconda command prompt ended up in failure despite my dedication.
Since you’re working on Windows with Anaconda and facing issues, I would suggest a few things that might help:
- Platform-Specific Challenges: The process of setting up environments and installing software can vary depending on your operating system. I primarily use Linux and VSCode for my projects, but I’ve also worked with Windows and understand the potential challenges there.
- Environment Configuration: One common issue is the environment setup. If possible, try starting with a clean environment in Anaconda and gradually install each package. Sometimes, incompatible versions can cause installation failures.
- Error Sharing: It would be really helpful if you could share the specific error messages you’re getting. Often, those error details can point directly to the root of the problem. The community could help you work through it.
- Localized Support: Since you mentioned being in Cameroon, perhaps finding someone nearby who’s more familiar with your platform could make troubleshooting easier. Sometimes, a quick walk-through in person clears things up faster.
I hope you find a solution soon. Keep trying.
