Installation
1. Ubuntu
Step 1 : Create a virtual environment and activate it.
# Installing virtual environment using pip pip install virtualenv # Create a virtual environment cd ~ virtual venv # Activate your virtual environment source ~/venv/bin/activate
installing a virtual environment using pip
Alternatively, if you are using Anaconda(https://www.anaconda.com/), you may use its virtual environment:
# creating a virtual environment using Anaconda. conda create -n anaconda
Creating a virtual environment
# activating the virtual environment using anaconda conda activate <virtual-environment-name>
Activating virtual environment
Step 2 : Install turicreate within your virtual environment
(venv) pip install -U turicreate
Installing turicreate
2. Windows : In windows, you cannot directly install this package but you can use the Windows subsystem for Linux(WSL) to install turicreate in your system.

Step 6 : Update and upgrade your distros packages using the following command.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Output
Step 7 : Installing dependencies and setting up your environment.
# Installing dependencies sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++6 python-setuptools sudo apt-get install python3-pip # Installing virtualenv using pip3 sudo pip3 install virtualenv # Creating a virtual environment using virtualenv virtualenv venv # Activating the created virtual environment source venv/bin/activate
Step 8 : Now Install turicreate in your virtual environment.
(venv)pip3 install turicreate
Installing turicreate
Congratulation turicreate has been successfully installed in your system. Happy coding.
