 If you do not have PySpark installed, you can install it directly:

 ## Tensorflow Requirements ##
 # Tensorflow is required to run this code but depends on specific configurations. Install from:
 # https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup#overview
+# Either `tensorflow` or `tensorflow-cpu` should be installed via pypi depending on if you want GPU support
 
 # NOTE: If you want to use the GPU version, you will also need Nvidia's CUDA toolkit and cuDNN:
 # https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
 # https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn
-# Note that if you want to use the GPU version, you have to `pip uninstall tensorflow`
-# and `pip install tensorflow-gpu`, since both cannot coexist. 
-tensorflow>=2.1.0
 
 # We'll use pytest to run our tests; this isn't really necessary to run the code, but it is to run
 # the tests.  With this here, you can run the tests with `py.test` from the base directory.
