  • Does [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44963163/install-graphlab-package-in-python-3-6-1) answer your question? – Johnny May 11 '20 at 00:42
  • @Johnny yeah it is similar to mine but ther is no answer , graphlab require python-2.x and now it is no longer supported so is there any alternative or solution ? – eya_bklt May 11 '20 at 01:03
  • There's not much you can do. Python 2.x is deprecated, and per [these instructions](https://turi.com/download/install-graphlab-create-command-line.html), GraphLab only allows Python 2.x. – Johnny May 11 '20 at 01:06
  • Python 2.7 still exists, even if it's no longer receiving updates. I'd avoid it if you can in the future, but just install it and use it for your course. – ChrisGPT was on strike May 11 '20 at 01:07

I faced the same issue. This is how I solved it. I hope it'll help you too.

  1. First, you need to open your anaconda navigator.

  2. Then Go to the Environment tab. enter image description here

  3. Click create option

  4. Then provide a name for your environment and choose the appropriate python version. (GraphLab Create installation requires a Python 2.7.x environment and pip version >= 7) enter image description here

  5. When your environment ready you can open it with the terminal as follows.enter image description here

  6. In command prompt type conda update pip to ensure pip is updated to the latest version
  7. Now run this command pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir https://get.graphlab.com/GraphLab-Create/2.1/your registered email address here/your product key here/GraphLab-Create-License.tar.gz
  8. To Install or update IPython and IPython Notebook conda install ipython-notebook

I hope it will help you. Thanks!

Step 4. Creating conda env is taking a long time and seems not working. The following is the error in conda prompt:

You can search for this package on anaconda.org with:

anaconda search -t conda blas * mkl
