Why does the 'tensorflow' module import fail in Spyder and not in Jupyter Notebook and not in Python prompt?

Question

I have not used Linux/Unix for more a decade. Why does the 'tensorflow' module import fail in Spyder and not in Jupyter Notebook and not in Python prompt?

SCENARIO:

• [terminal] spyder
• [spyder][IPython console] Type 'import tensorflow as tf' in the IPython console

CURRENT RESULT:

• [spyder][IPython console] Message error: 'ImportError: No module named 'tensorflow''

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (VMWare)
• Python: Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
• Install of TensorFlow:
  • [terminal] sudo -s
  • [terminal] conda create --name=IntroToTensorFlow python=3 anaconda
  • [terminal] source activate IntroToTensorFlow
  • [terminal] conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow
• PATH = $PATH:/home/mo/anaconda3/envs/IntroToTensorFlow/bin

COMMENTS:

• When I replay the following scenario, it works fine:
  • [terminal] sudo -s
  • [terminal] source activate IntroToTensorFlow
  • [terminal] python
  • [python] import tensorflow as tf
• When I replay the tensorflow import in Jupyter Notebook, it works fine too

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:

• I Googled it but I did not find a suitable anwser
• I searched in the Stack Overflow questions

Answer 1

This might be a matter of environment variables. Try the answer here and here:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64 CUDA_PATH=/usr/local/cuda

It is solved: I reinstalled spyder and it works properly now. Thank you.
