How to solve: ImportError: "No module named 'graphlab'?

With "source activate graphlab" in the terminal I can start up graphlab.

I've created it like this: "conda create -n graphlab python=2.7 anaconda", because using virtualenv with Anaconda is untested and not recommended (according to the warning in the terminal, I don't know whether this really is the case.).

After starting up graphlab the terminal shows:

discarding /Users/username/anaconda/bin from PATH
prepending /Users/username/anaconda/envs/graphlab/bin to PATH

But when I want to import graphlab in the Spider IDE it shows the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site packages/spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/sitecustomize.py", line 580, in runfile
execfile(filename, namespace)
File "/Users/username/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/sitecustomize.py", line 48, in execfile
exec(compile(open(filename, 'rb').read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)
File "/Users/username/Documents/projectname/pythonfile.py", line 3, in <module>
import graphlab as gl
ImportError: No module named 'graphlab'

How can I solve this? I am totally new to installing these things, so hopefully someone can help me with an extensive step by step explanation.

Open Anaconda command prompt. Run the following command:

pip install graphlab-create

Got the same error message, although I for sure had installed GraphLab on an environment with conda on Windows. I solved it with kernels for different environments. Do the following on command line:

activate myenv

python -m ipykernel install --user --name myenv --display-name "Python (myenv)"

  • replace myenv in the code above with the name of the (conda-)environment in which graphlab is installed

Source (kernels for different environments): https://ipython.readthedocs.org/en/stable/install/kernel_install.html

Oh and to be sure that you actually had installed graphlab correct in your environment in the first place, you can test this by doing in command line:

Change environment:

activate nameofyourenvironment

Start Python:

python

Check in Python if GraphLab is found:

import graphlab

(if you don't get an error message, you did install graphlab correct in that particular environment)

The Dato Graphlab Create installer did not actually install graphlab on my Mac (El Capitan). I did the following (Anaconda is installed) in a terminal window:

% pip install graphlab-create

That subsequently installed Graphlab Create. You can then easily verify:

% python
Python 2.7.10 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Sep 15 2015, 14:29:08)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Anaconda is brought to you by Continuum Analytics.
Please check out: http://continuum.io/thanks and https://anaconda.org
>>> import graphlab
>>>

I've noticed that occasionally, Python will forget that Graphlab Create is installed. A repeat of the above 'pip' command will cause it to remember.

There seems to be an issue with the Spider IDE.

Try importing from the command line interpreter (Anaconda version) and it should work fine.

The Spider IDE seems to be configured to use Python3.4 by default. That has to be changed to 2.7. This is from the error message on the issue.
