Issue installing shapely Python Package

Question

I am running python 3.6 on windows and am attempting to install Shapely using

pip install shapely==1.6b2

It is giving me the following errors

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Cameron\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-242ae_ih\shapely\

I have seen the other posts about this issue and have tried:

pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install ez_setup
easy_install -U setuptools

Nothing seems to work and I am not sure what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

You may try to use the binary from this unofficial site . Just use pip install {wheel file name} to install it.

• Shapely‑1.5.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl (32-bit)
• Shapely‑1.5.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.wh l (64-bit)

Hope this would make the installation easier.

Answer 2

我在通过pip install shapely安装shapely-1.5.17遇到了类似的错误，安装后使 pip install 命令起作用：

sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev

Answer 3

As of 2020, you can now simply install Shapely for Windows with:

pip install shapely

(you many need --upgrade to get at least version 1.7.0, when binary wheels were added for Windows)
