This is for me, since I’ll forget. I was trying to install tensorflow using pip on MacOS Sierra and was having a hard time. After some googling, I found this apple.stackexchange post, and the response by Michal Prihoda suggests using

pip install --user <modulename>

to install modules for the current user. Works for me. Since I’m installing tensorflow for the Edward module, I actually need tensorflow v0.11.0 for now so I used

pip install --user https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.11.0-py2-none-any.whl

I also always forget how to deploy this site. I’m using a rakefile that I found online a while back that lets me use plugins while hosting on Githu; I don’t remember the source unfortunately. I call it with:

rake git:deploy
