-## Machine Learning
-For the machine learning scripts, like `wut-ml`, both Tensorflow
-and Keras need to be installed. The versions of those in Debian
-didn't work for me. IIRC, for Tensorflow I built a `pip` of
-version 2.0.0 from git and installed that. I installed Keras
-with `pip`. Something like:
+## Install Tensorflow
+For the machine learning scripts, like `wut-ml`, Tensorflow 
+needs to be installed.
+As of version 2 of Tensorflow, Keras no longer needs to be
+installed separately.
+
+
+The verions of Tensorflow installed with `pip3` on Debian
+Buster crashes. It is perhaps best to do a custom install,
+based preferred build options, of the most preferred version.
+At this point, the `remotes/origin/r2.1` branch is preferred.
+
+
+To install Tensorflow:
+
+1. Install dependencies in Debian.
+
+1. Install Bazel to build Tensorflow.
+
+1. Build Tensorflow pip package.
+
+1. Install Tensorflow from custom pip package.

 # Usage
 The main purpose of the script is to evaluate an observation,
 but to do that, it needs to build a corpus of observations to
