Complete and easy installation of geopandas in python

geopandas is a library in python which is used in plotting graphs with maps, To see its implementation, I have an article on it here.

geopandas can be kind of tricky sometimes to install, because it requires a lot of support libraries along with a C-compiler and a lot of prerequisites, which leads to a lot of frustration, and I faced that too.

So Let’s get into it!

First:

We install the libraries which are a prerequisites. No need to worry, its pretty simple.

You will need to use the conda prompt, you can access it by searching it in your taskbar,

NOTE: you need to have anaconda to use the conda prompt, and in this article I am using jupyter notebook.

Once you open the conda prompt, type this in

conda install pandas fiona shapely pyproj rtree

Second:

Now, open a new jupyter notebook, and type this in:

!pip install geopandas

And…You have finally installed geopandas in just two lines.
