Hi,
I am having trouble installing Graphlab Create from Turi in my Win10. I . First step is to install Anaconda 2.4.0.0 . Everything goes OK, until I need to choose the destination folder. Then I keep getting the same error message to the effect that "Directory x already exists , please choose a different location" . This happens no matter where I choose to save/install

I tried Stack Overflow's recommendation, but it is not working. Anyone, please?

Why are you trying to install such an ancient version? The latest stable version seems to be 5.3.1.

Okay, it seems to be a bug in the installer. The only thing which comes into my mind is that the directory you are trying to install in requires Administrator privileges. However, since I'm not on a Windows, it is difficult to help you more.

Sorry, forgot to update you. I somehow overcame that. Issue now is to activate the Anaconda Environment. My apologies for making you work extra :).

I am actually trying to fix dependency issues: This is my command line:Error: Dependencies missing in current win-64 channels:

You can search for this package on anaconda.org with

anaconda search -t conda blas * mkl

EDIT: I found nothing in a search in anaconda.org , nor in Stackoverflow:

It seems like you are missing MKL BLAS, which is included in the accelerate package, see https://docs.anaconda.com/accelerate/install/#installing-accelerate

sniffing glue is never good o_O

I've found the anaconda installs to be pretty clean on Ubuntu, a bit less so on Windows. (I have dual boot-- may be useful if you're doing a lot of programming )

Pain killers were becoming too hard to get. You know, the whole 5-0 thing.

I've _never_ gotten anaconda installer to work, and I've used it on and off for years. I always started with miniconda. Try to see which specific packages this Graphlab Create thing wants and then install them with miniconda conda command.

I did get it to work, but it took a long while.
