Issues downloading Graphlab dependencies get_dependencies()

Question

I am having trouble when I try to download the dependencies needed to run graphlab. I do import graphlab I get the following:

ACTION REQUIRED: Dependencies libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_seh-1.dll not found.

1. Ensure user account has write permission to C:\Users\DANISUAR\AppData\Local\Continuum\Miniconda2\envs\gl-env\lib\site-packages\graphlab
2. Run graphlab.get_dependencies() to download and install them.
3. Restart Python and import graphlab again.

By running the above function, you agree to the following licenses.

* libstdc++: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html
* xz: http://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=blob;f=COPYING

So I try to run graphlab.get_dependencies() and I get the following error:

In [2]: gl.get_dependencies()

By running this function, you agree to the following licenses.

* libstdc++: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html

I am using an Anaconda environment with Python 2.7 and Windows 7.

The first step is to install all the graph packages using the procedures listed in this link using PIP installer. Verify the successful installation of GraphLab by typing:

import graphlab

The following errors may appear as given in this image:

Then, you can run graphlab.get_dependencies() in Python's terminal.

Verify the installation again in Python's terminal using:

import graphlab
