Problem description

pip install tensorflow-cpu==2.8.1 ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-cpu==2.8.1 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-cpu==2.8.1

I need help, I'm using mac mini m1. so tired to install.

TensorFlow split out their releases across multiple PyPI packages. If you want wheels that will work on Apple silicon machines they you need to use tensorflow-macos.

Thank you so much, it's getting same error, I did pip install tensorflow-macos first then pip install tensorflow-cpu==2.8.1.

I think you are misunderstanding what is happening here. If you want to use TensorFlow on an Apple silicon machine then you just install tensorflow-macos. You can see just by looking at the wheels for a release, like 2.12.0, that there are arm64 wheels that are compatible with Apple silicon. Similarly, for tensorflow-cpu there are no arm64 wheels. This is all discussed on https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/57185.

You could have also just checked at the command line with

python -m pip index versions tensorflow-cpu

and noticed that there were no compatible releases from PyPI, but there were for

python -m pip index versions tensorflow-macos
