Can't install geoplot package


I'm trying to install geoplot package for a few hours now but I can't understand why I can't do it. I saw several links in here just saying "only use conda and it will work" but neither conda install -c conda-forge geoplot or pip install geoplot are working.

The best question I saw in this matter was this one but even following the solution step by step isn't doing the job.

I'm on a Windows 10 64bit, with:

Also, I'm with geopandas (0.10.2) fully functional and with GDAL_DATA path already on my Windows' environment variables.

Here is the error while tryinh to install via pip:

via conda command line it really takes a long long time and shows a bunch of dependencies conflict... Does anybody knows how can I solve this issue? Many thanks in advance!


Solution

  • I wan't able to solve this problem on my base environment, so in order to install geoplot I had to create a new environment on conda. Will post what I've done here below in case of anyone in the future come across this same problem:

    conda create -n geoEnv python=3.8
    

    After that I've installed directly geoplot through conda insted of (GDAL, fiona, proj, etc.) > geopandas > geoplot, because doing that I was having the same dependencie problems, even on a brand new environment, so:

    conda activate geoEnv    
    conda install -c conda-forge geoplot
    

    From here I just installed jupyter using pip because I don't know why trying it with conda was also pointing out dependencie problems as well...

    I don't know if it was my packages or python versions but with this solution above I was able to successfully instal geoplot.

    Bonus tip: installing ipykernel and nb_conda_kernels packages on your new environment/base could help you out to manage different envs
