Hello! I am trying to install Tensor FLow, but I am receiving this error:

Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I already run python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip because the error included it before, but it was not solved. Does anyone know how can I solve it?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best,
David

The problem is that you are using 32-bit Python. Tensorflow only provides prebuilt binaries for 64-bit Python, so pip is trying to build tensorflow itself. This is highly non-trivial.

If you want to use tensorflow on Windows you must use 64-bit Python.
