There is no official Conda package for Turi Create, and that user channel you are trying to install from has apparently switched to being private. Instead, follow the official directions and install from PyPI (after activating your env).

conda activate my_env
pip install turicreate

Do not install this in base env! Be aware that once you use pip install in a Conda env, the env is effectively unstable, and can no longer be managed reliably by Conda. For this reason, always install PyPI packages last or use an environment YAML file. If you know that the package has dependencies (they can usually be found in the setup.py) that are available from Conda, install those first through Conda. I strongly encourage following the best practice recommendations found in "Using Pip in a Conda Environment".

Yes i got the answer ....I want to add one more point if user is working on linux then the command which works "sudo pip install turicreate" but after activation of new_environment and turicreate doesn't support to python 3.7 – Lavinalavine

While sudo is needed for very particular installations, typically nothing in a Conda env ever requires it. – Ashleeashleigh
