Issue installing geoplot package

Question

When I try to install geoplot in either my Linux box or windows box the terminal either gets hung up or I get an error: unable to determine GEOS version<\/a> . I checked geos version in anaconda and it states I have GEOS 3.8<\/a> .

Answer 1

This is a frequent issue faced by most of the developers trying to install GEOS, Cartopy and Proj.

It happens to be that there are certain packages that need to exist before installing GEOS or Cartopy. A quick look at your screenshot of the error, you can try out the following...

sudo apt-get install libproj-dev proj-data proj-bin  
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev  
sudo pip install cython  
sudo pip install cartopy
sudo apt install python3-dev

An alternative solution in case above does not work for you, the reason could be of a mixed channel problem in Anaconda, to resolve that, issue following commands as root (admin)

conda config --set channel_priority strict

edit the ~/.condarc file which will look like this after the edit:

channel_priority: strict
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults 

Use the root user to install it because it will have to access places where your standard user does not have access.

conda install geoplot -c conda-forge

我遇到了同样的问题，但能够通过创建 geo_env （ https:\/\/geopandas.org\/en\/stable\/getting_started\/install.html<\/a> ）然后运行 ​​conda install geoplot -c conda-forge 来解决它
