Now, trying to activate the environment :

$ '/c/Users/PARVATHY SARAT/Anaconda3/envs/gl-env' activate gl-env
bash: /c/Users/PARVATHY SARAT/Anaconda3/envs/gl-env: Is a directory

Which file in gl-env directory should I source? Trying to install graphlab using license yields the following message :

Collecting graphlab-create>=2.1 (from GraphLab-Create-License==2.1)
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement graphlab-create>=2.1 (from GraphLab-Create-License==2.1) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for graphlab-create>=2.1 (from GraphLab-Create-License==2.1)

Answer 1

According to Turi's Graphlab download tutorial we only need to have : Python 2.7.x environment and pip version >= 7 and Anaconda2 v4.0.0 (64-bit). IPython Notebook is recommended.
