Is it possible to install geoviews on a Google Colaboratory notebook so that I can use it to plot data from an Xarray Dataset?
Geoviews depends on cartopy, which has some additional requirements that aren't covered by pip. You can install them with apt
, at which point the geoviews installation will work correctly:
!apt-get install libgeos++ libproj-dev
!pip install geoviews
After this, you can run a basic geoviews command:
import geoviews as gv
import geoviews.feature as gf
gv.extension('matplotlib')
gf.ocean
