I am trying to install Turicreate on windows 10 with anaconda and python 3.7and pip version 19.3

Command: **conda create -n virtual_environment_name anaconda
           conda activate virtual_environment_name 
           pip install -U turicreate**

in anaconda virtual environment. This gives the following error:

File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\MeghaNandini\Anaconda3\envs\vireve\lib\tokenize.py", line 447, in open

buffer = _builtin_open(filename, 'rb')

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'C:\\Users\\MEGHAN~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-mwo8zqcl\\turicreate\\setup.py'

Please help me to resolve the issue.

  • Does this answer your question? [Unable to install turicreate in anaconda](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58068783/unable-to-install-turicreate-in-anaconda) – merv Nov 16 '19 at 08:56
  • Also, not that you must be running Windows Subsystem for Linux - [Turi Create does not support Windows](https://github.com/apple/turicreate#supported-platforms). – merv Nov 16 '19 at 09:03
  • @merv, I am running the above command in Anaconda virtual environment conda activate vireve pip install -U turicreate – megha Nov 16 '19 at 10:37

Turi-create is not directly supported in Windows. You must use the WSL linux environment, see the WSL install guide.

  • Install WSL. I would suggest the latest Ubuntu distro as a lot of software has easy installation on ubuntu and it's widely used.
  • Open a command line and use the bash command to start the linux bash shell. Note that python 2 may still be the default, so if you want to use python 3, use the python3 command where it says python.

  • Install pip:

    • sudo apt update
    • sudo apt install python3-pip

  • Create a virtual env as usual

    • sudo pip install virtualenv,
    • virtualenv venv.
    • cd venv
  • Follow the turi linux install instructions.
