Question
[TensorFlow MNIST example not running with fully_connected_feed.py](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33659424/tensorflow- mnist-example-not-running)
I checked this out and realized that input_data
was not built-in. So I
downloaded the whole folder from
here.
How can I start the tutorial:
import input_data
mnist = input_data.read_data_sets("MNIST_data/", one_hot=True)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-a5af65173c89> in <module>()
----> 1 import input_data
2 mnist = tf.input_data.read_data_sets("MNIST_data/", one_hot=True)
ImportError: No module named input_data
I'm using iPython (Jupyter) so do I need to change my working directory to
this folder I downloaded? or can I add this to my tensorflow
directory? If
so, where do I add the files? I installed tensorflow
with pip
(on my OSX)
and the current location is ~/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site- packages/tensorflow/__init__.py
Are these files meant to be accessed directly through tensorflow
like
sklearn
datasets? or am I just supposed to cd into the directory and work
from there? The example is not clear.

This post is very out-dated
Answer
So let's assume that you are in the directory: /somePath/tensorflow/tutorial
(and this is your working directory).
All you need to do is to download the input_data.py file and place it like this. Let's assume that the file name you invoke:
import input_data
mnist = input_data.read_data_sets("MNIST_data/", one_hot=True)
...
is main.py
and it is also in the same directory.
Once this is done, you can just start running main.py
which will start
downloading the files and will put them in the MNIST_data folder (once they
are there the script will not be downloading them next time).
