使用 anaconda 提示安装 geopandas 会导致 ImportError

Question

I am aiming to analyse geodata in python but fail on step 1: the installation. I'm relatively new to python and used to installing packages with pip. Now, for geopandas, it looks like I'm supposed to use conda install. Sadly, I get an error.

What I did: I downloaded the most recent anconda software and typed 'conda install geopandas' in the anaconda prompt (anaconda3).

Reading similar questions online I saw some questions solved by updating anaconda, but since I downloaded the version on the homepage I would expect it to be up to date. Also, I didn't find any entries with error code similar to mine.

From what I gather from the response, anaconda didn't even manage to find the package (first line of the below code). However, I am not very experienced in the analysis of error code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

`$ D:\Programs\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda-script.py install geopandas`

  environment variables:
conda info could not be constructed.
KeyError('pkgs_dirs')

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.

Answer 1

I had the same issue back then, and I followed the instructions on this link.

https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/fastest-way-to-install-geopandas-in-jupyter-notebook-on-windows-8f734e11fa2b

Basically what this does is create a new environment in your anaconda navigator where I could get geopandas working normally.

Answer 2

Bit late to the party, but here's an answer that worked for me, after more trouble than I want to get into.

• Create conda environment

Install Dependencies (Preparing for Battle)

GeoPandas depends on the following Python libraries: pandas, Shapely, Fiona, pyproj, NumPy, six, descartes, and cartopy .

Go to https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ and search each Dependency. Click on the first name of the first row (Example: pandas - in green next to 1.3.1, below)



On the page that takes you to, scroll down and copy and paste the highlighted line of code.



Paste that into your Terminal in your brand new environment and hit Enter.

Once all of the Dependencies have been successfully added to your new conda environment, copy the Geopandas line of code from the conda forge page just as you did for the Dependencies. Paste in your terminal and hit Enter. If the Gods of not-suck are with you, it will install.

Let me know when this works and if you need some good resources for how to use Geopandas
