I am trying to install tensorflow-gpu 1.15 using Conda for an easy install of CUDA and cuDNN. The problem is that checking the compatibility chart of the official web I need python 3.6, CUDA 10.0 and cuDNN 7.4.
Searching the Conda rep via conda search cudnn it says that there isn't cuDNN 7.4. Is there any other way to install the required packages? Or maybe tensorflow 1.15 also works with other combinations of versions?
As a side note, python 3.6, tensorflow-gpu 1.15 and CUDA 10 install correctly, but it seems I can't use the GPU correctly without cuDNN. I just recently started using Conda, so maybe there is a straight forward way to do this that I don't realize. My Conda version is 4.9.1 (miniconda version).
---update---
Just in case I add the error while trying conda create -n myenv -c conda-forge tensorflow-gpu=1.15:
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:

Package _tflow_select conflicts for:

tensorflow==1.15.0 -> _tflow_select[version='2.1.0|2.3.0|2.2.0',build='gpu|mkl|eigen']
Note that strict channel priority may have removed packages required for satisfiability.
I am not sure if that is the problem, but I installed the following way
conda create -n tensorflow1.15 python=3.5
conda activate tensorflow1.15
conda install cudatoolkit=10.0
conda install cudnn=7.3.1
pip3 install tensorflow-gpu==1.15
And it seems to works perfectly with the GPU. I didn't know that cuDNN 7.3.1 worked like 7.4. The best way is to install tensorflow with conda, but it give me an error of trying to install tensorflow-gpu=2.X.
Also maybe it's interesting to say that you can search CUDA and similar official installers with conda search -c nvidia <packageName>.
