ImportError: libblas.so.3

Question

After installation of turicreate, when I am importing it

import turicreate

I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/papun/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/turicreate/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>

    from ..cython.cy_unity import UnityGlobalProxy
ImportError: libblas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It will helpful, if I can get a suggestion on this. I have also tried
