[TensorLayer](https://tensorlayer3.readthedocs.io) is a novel supports multiple backends deep learning and reinforcement learning library designed for researchers and engineers. It provides an extensive collection of customizable neural layers to build advanced AI models quickly, based on this, the community open-sourced mass [tutorials](https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0/src/branch/master/examples/basic_tutorials) and [applications](https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0/src/branch/master/examples/model_zoo). TensorLayer is awarded the 2017 Best Open Source Software by the [ACM Multimedia Society](https://twitter.com/ImperialDSI/status/923928895325442049).

# Design Features
|
||
|
||
TensorLayer is a new deep learning library designed with simplicity, flexibility and high-performance in mind.
|
||
|
||
- ***Simplicity*** : TensorLayer has a high-level layer/model abstraction which is effortless to learn. You can learn how deep learning can benefit your AI tasks in minutes through the massive [examples](https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0/src/branch/master/examples).
|
||
- ***Flexibility*** : TensorLayer APIs are transparent and flexible, inspired by the emerging PyTorch library. Compared to the Keras abstraction, TensorLayer makes it much easier to build and train complex AI models.
|
||
- ***Zero-cost Abstraction*** : Though simple to use, TensorLayer does not require you to make any compromise in the performance of TensorFlow (Check the following benchmark section for more details).
|
||
|
||
TensorLayer stands at a unique spot in the TensorFlow wrappers. Other wrappers like Keras and TFLearn
|
||
hide many powerful features of TensorFlow and provide little support for writing custom AI models. Inspired by PyTorch, TensorLayer APIs are simple, flexible and Pythonic,
|
||
making it easy to learn while being flexible enough to cope with complex AI tasks.
|
||
TensorLayer has a fast-growing community. It has been used by researchers and engineers all over the world, including those from Peking University,
|
||
Imperial College London, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and companies like Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, and Bloomberg.
|
||
|
||
# Multilingual Documents
|
||
|
||
TensorLayer has extensive documentation for both beginners and professionals. The documentation is available in
|
||
both English and Chinese.

TensorLayer 3.0 relies on TensorFlow, numpy, and others. To use GPUs, CUDA and cuDNN are required.
|
||
|
||
Install TensorFlow:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip3 install tensorflow-gpu==2.0.0-rc1 # TensorFlow GPU (version 2.0 RC1)
|
||
pip3 install tensorflow # CPU version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Install the stable release of TensorLayer3:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip3 install tensorlayer3
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Install the stable release of TensorLayer2.x:
|
||
|
||
```bast
|
||
pip3 install tensorlayer
|
||
```
|
||
Install the unstable development version of TensorLayer3:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip3 install git+https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you want to install the additional dependencies, you can also run
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip3 install --upgrade tensorlayer[all] # all additional dependencies
|
||
pip3 install --upgrade tensorlayer[extra] # only the `extra` dependencies
|
||
pip3 install --upgrade tensorlayer[contrib_loggers] # only the `contrib_loggers` dependencies
|
||
```
|
||
If you want to use mindspore backend, you should install mindspore>=1.2.1
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip install https://ms-release.obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com/1.2.1/MindSpore/gpu/ubuntu_x86/cuda-10.1/mindspore_gpu-1.2.1-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl --trusted-host ms-release.obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you want to use paddlepaddle backend, you should install paddlepaddle>=2.1.1
|
||
```bash
|
||
python -m pip install paddlepaddle -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you are TensorFlow 1.X users, you can use TensorLayer 1.11.0:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# For last stable version of TensorLayer 1.X
|
||
pip3 install --upgrade tensorlayer==1.11.0
|
||
```
|
||

||
## Using Docker
|
||
|
||
The [TensorLayer containers](https://hub.docker.com/r/tensorlayer/tensorlayer/) are built on top of the official [TensorFlow containers](https://hub.docker.com/r/tensorflow/tensorflow/):
|
||
|
||
### Containers with CPU support
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# for CPU version and Python 2
|
||
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest
|
||
docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest
|
||
|
||
# for CPU version and Python 3
|
||
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-py3
|
||
docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-py3
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Containers with GPU support
|
||
|
||
NVIDIA-Docker is required for these containers to work: [Project Link](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# for GPU version and Python 2
|
||
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu
|
||
nvidia-docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu
|
||
|
||
# for GPU version and Python 3
|
||
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu-py3
|
||
nvidia-docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu-py3
