TensorFlow has multiple versions, if I want to install a specific version in Anaconda, which command should I use?

I find the existing answers unsatisfying, as the OP asked specifically about Anaconda but the answers are just pip installs.
You can list the available versions for install doing
conda search tensorflow-gpu
which should give you some output that looks like
Loading channels: done
# Name Version Build Channel
tensorflow-gpu 1.4.1 0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.5.0 0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.6.0 0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.7.0 0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.8.0 h7b35bdc_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.9.0 hf154084_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.10.0 hf154084_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.11.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.12.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.13.1 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.14.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 1.15.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 2.0.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 2.1.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow-gpu 2.2.0 h0d30ee6_0 pkgs/main
If you need to specify a particular channel, the -c/--channel option is your friend, for example:
conda search -c conda-forge tensorflow-gpu
Then you can select your version by passing it to the install command, for example:
conda install tensorflow-gpu==2.0.0
If you needed the channel option in your search, you should add the same option to the conda install command. Note this will work the same for tensorflow (i.e. not the GPU version), just change the package name accordingly.
YAML Configuration
If you use YAML environment configuration files, you can do the same thing:
# environment.yaml
name: my_conda_env
channels:
- conda-forge
dependencies:
- tensorflow-gpu=2.0.0
Create your environment with command:
conda env create -f environment.yaml
or if you change the version of an already created environment:
conda env update -f environment.yaml
This is probably the simplest way to do it:
pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow==1.4

I would highly recommend you use virtualenv or conda to isolate your tensorflow installation, especially if you want to play-test different versions and the CPU/GPU versions.
I am assuming that you are using Windows, python3.5, and CPU version of tensorflow.
let's first create conda environment.
C:> conda create -n tensorflow python=3.5
C:> activate tensorflow
(tensorflow)C:> # Your prompt should change
After creating the conda environment successfully, issue the correct command to install the specific version. I will guide you through installing three different versions.
To install version r1.0
(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade
To install version r1.3
(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade
To install master version
(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade
let me know if this is what you are looking for
