In this tutorial I wrote down my own steps on how to configure GraphLab on Mac for the Coursera Machine Learning class from the University of Washington:
Starting from the very beginning...
Check your Anaconda
If you do NOT have conda installed, then download it here (Python 3.6 version),
you can always downgrade to 2.7 later.
you can always downgrade to 2.7 later.
Sign up to Anaconda cloud:
https://anaconda.org
$ conda --version
conda 4.5.11
Conda update all packages
Even if you installed the newest Anaconda, there will be a ton of changes..
$ conda update --all
Check if you may already have Python 2.7 environment
$ conda env list
# conda environments:
base * /Volumes/DATA/anaconda3
Python Version
You need to work in anaconda=4.0.0 Python 2.7Without conda you have:
$ python --versionPython 2.7.10
switching to conda:
$ source activate base(base) uki 19:29 ~ $ python --version
Python 3.6.6 :: Anaconda, Inc.
Create the new environment with Python 2.7 anaconda=4.0.0
$ conda create -n py2 python=2.7.15
List available environments
$ conda env list# conda environments:
base * /Volumes/DATA/anaconda3
py27 /Volumes/DATA/anaconda3/envs/py2
$ source activate py27(py27) uki 19:34 ~ $ python --versionPython 2.7.15 :: Anaconda, Inc.
The actual installation of GraphLab
$ pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir https://get.graphlab.com/GraphLab-Create/2.1/YOUR_EMAIL/YOUR_LICENSE_FROM_TURI/GraphLab-Create-License.tar.gz
Installing Jupiter kernel to support GraphLab and Python 2.7
$ python -m pip install ipykernel
$ python -m ipykernel install --user --name py2 --display-name "Python (py2.7.15)"Installed kernelspec py2 in /Users/uki/Library/Jupyter/kernels/py2
$ cd SOME SRC ROOT FOLDER OF YOUR NOTEBOOK(py27) uki 19:41 Week3 $ jupyter notebook
Inside jupyter notebook execute:
import graphlab
if the installation was correct it will work (no output), if not you will see:
ImportError: No module named graphlab
