Answer

On Windows, you must use Python 3.7.6 (64 bits) (or later version, provided it is 64-bits) to install tensorflow:

C:Program FilesPython-3.7.6-x64> python.exe -m pip install --user tensorflow

Unfortunately, the 32-bit version is not supported by tensorflow and will give you that nasty error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow

A few important notes:

  • Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages for x64 (2015, 2017, 2019).
  • If you have previously installed Python 3.7 for x86, uninstall it from your system and also delete the directory where the x86 packages were stored to avoid a conflict with the new x64 packages that will be placed there. In my machine they were stored at C:\Users\karlphillip\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages.
  • Finally, install Python 3.7.6 (x64) and upgrade pip with python -m pip install --user --upgrade pip.
  • Now, simply install tensorflow: python -m pip install --user tensorflow
