I haven't had any trouble getting turicreate to run on my Ubuntu OS - however when deploying to an AWS EB instance (Python 3.6) I get the error: ImportError: libblas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
This is clearly a problem with not completing the setup instructions found here.
So I tried to update my /.ebextensions/setup.config to resemble the following to try to update the environment so turicreate can run.
packages:
yum:
libstdc++6: []
python-setuptools: []
I needed to use yum because the AWS instance doesn't have apt-get. However this comes with its own errors: Activity execution failed, because: Yum does not have python-setuptools available for installation (ElasticBeanstalk::ExternalInvocationError) and Activity execution failed, because: Yum does not have libstdc++6 available for installation (ElasticBeanstalk::ExternalInvocationError).
If I ssh into the environment...
[ec2-user@ip-***-**-**-*** ~]$ sudo yum install -y libstdc++6 python-setuptools
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
amzn-main | 2.1 kB 00:00:00
amzn-updates | 2.5 kB 00:00:00
No package libstdc++6 available.
Package python26-setuptools-36.2.7-1.33.amzn1.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[ec2-user@ip-***-**-**-*** ~]$
What's going on here? How can I configure the EB instance to run turicreate?
Turicreate can run on AWS instances but you have to install the dependencies using Yum. Yum has different file names and the following install config should work.
packages:
yum:
blas-devel : []
lapack-devel: []
