This is the message I get after I type the command "pip install turicreate".

I am using ubuntu 20.4 and have python 3.8.2 installed on my system

Turicreate doesn't support Python 3.8 yet. You have to use an earlier python version (e.g 3.7) to get turicreate working.

You can create a virtual envirnment with any of the supported versions and then install turicreate. It works fine on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 and is a good alternative for using turicreate as long as python3.8 support is not added.

Install any of the supported python versions and note its installation path (the installation folder is usually /usr/bin/ but it may vary). Install virtualenv with pip install virtualenv. Navigate to your project and then create the virtual environment inside the project folder with virtualenv -p /path/to/python/installation venv.

I created it with python3.6, so for me it was virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.6 venv. Then activate the new virtual environment by typing in source venv/bin/activate. Check the python version with python --version.

Then proceed to install turicreate.

After you are done with your work, deactivate the virtual environment with the deactivate command
