How to solve the error in installing Tensorflow?

Question

I tried to install TensorFlow using pip install tensorflow and I got the below error. Is that because of a timeout problem? How to overcome this error when installing TensorFlow?

ERROR: Exception:

are you using a conda environment? if not try: pip --default-timeout=300 install tensorflow — Kenan

if you are using conda first run:

conda config --set ssl_verify no

after that modify your default timeout:

pip --default-timeout=900 install tensorflow

Note: conda config --set ssl_verify no only applicable for conda if you are not on conda env skip this step.

try:

pip --default-timeout=300 install tensorflow

This has worked for me as commented by Kenan since I'm using a non-conda environment.
