source ~/venv/bin/activate
 

Alternatively, if you are using Anaconda(https://www.anaconda.com/), you may use its virtual environment: 

# creating a virtual environment using Anaconda.
conda create -n  anaconda

# activating the virtual environment using anaconda
conda activate <virtual-environment-name>

Step 2 : Install turicreate within your virtual environment 

(venv) pip install -U turicreate

2. Windows : In windows, you cannot directly install this package but you can use the Windows subsystem for Linux(WSL) to install turicreate in your system.

Step 1 : Install WSL

# Open powershell as Administrator and run the following command
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

Note: When prompted restart your computer.

Step 3 : From the distro’s page, select get, and install.
 

Step 4 : Launch the distro from the Start menu or by clicking the “launch” button on the Microsoft Store. 

Step 5 : You will have to initialize your new distro. Follow the prompts to set up a new Linux account (username and password). You will need your password later when installing packages using sudo.

Step 6 : Update and upgrade your distros packages using the following command.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

# Installing dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++6 python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

# Installing virtualenv using pip3
sudo pip3 install virtualenv 

# Creating a virtual environment using virtualenv
virtualenv venv

# Activating the created virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

Step 8 : Now Install turicreate in your virtual environment.
