Getting Started

We recommend using virtualenv to use, install, or build Turi Create. Be sure to install virtualenv using your system pip.

pip install virtualenv

The method for installing Turi Create follows the standard python package installation steps.

cd ~
virtualenv venv

# Active your virtual environment
source pythonenv/bin/activate

To install Turi Create in the new virtual environment, do the following:

pip install -U turicreate

For more detailed installation instruction, please refer to the README.md

Once installed, you will be able to read or run the example code and datasets by copying code into your terminal. Throughout the User Guide we assume you have imported the package via

import turicreate

Sometimes it is useful shorthand to use tc instead of turicreate. This can be done via

import turicreate as tc
