“synonym of type is deprecated; in a future version of numpy, it will be understood as (type, (1,)) / '(1,)type'.” problem in TensorFlow

Question

I installed TensorFlow 1.10.1 but when I tried to import TensorFlow it said that I need TensorFlow version 1.10.0. Thus, I installed it and now I get the following warnings:

>>> import tensorflow

Answer 1

It is not an error. You are getting only the warning. This warning has occurred because your current numpy library version is not compatible with the tensorflow version. You need to downgrade the numpy version.

tensorflow 1.10.0 has requirement numpy<=1.14.5,>=1.13.3, but you must have some higher version installed(this warning message occurs with the newest numpy version 1.17.0).
