The best programming support for TensorFlow is provided for Python (although libraries do exist for Java, C, and Go, while those for other languages are under active development).
There is a wealth of information on the web for installing TensorFlow for Python.
It is standard practice, also recommended by Google, to install TensorFlow in a virtual environment, that is, an environment that isolates a set of APIs and code from other APIs and code and from the system-wide environment.
There are two distinct versions of TensorFlow—one for execution on a CPU and another for execution on a GPU. This last requires that the numerical libraries CUDA and CuDNN are installed. Tensorflow will default to GPU execution where possible. See https://www.tensorflow.org/alpha/guide/using_gpu.
Rather than attempt to reinvent the wheel here, there follow resources for...
