Dependencies missing in current win-64 channels

Question

After the default Graphlab Install executable failed, I'm now trying to install Graphlab using the command prompt. Step-by-step tutorial on how to do it can be found here.

When running the line

conda create -n gl-env python=2.7 anaconda=4.0.0

I get the following error:

    Using Anaconda Cloud api site https://api.anaconda.org

    You can search for this package on anaconda.org with

        anaconda search -t conda blas * mkl

Yet when I follow the suggestion and run the last line, I get the following error:

    usage: anaconda-script.py [-h] [--show-traceback] [--hide-traceback] [-v] [-q]
                      [--color] [--no-color] [-V] [-t TOKEN] [-s SITE]
                      ...
    anaconda-script.py: error: unrecognized arguments: * mkl

I can't seem to find any fix for this anywhere online. Does anyone have an idea how to fix?

Answer 1

conda update pip

It worked for me, taken from similar question.

Answer 2

You can run the command "conda install -c bioninja mkl" and then "conda create -n gl-env python=2.7 anaconda".
