Conda install geopandas doing nothing


I'm using conda with Spyder/Python 3.8.8.

I'm trying to install the geopandas package through conda-install, but when running it, I receive no output.

I've input the command conda install -c conda-forge geopandas and let it run for 30 minutes so far, so I doubt it's just a large package or poor connection. I don't know if I'm supposed to be seeing progress updates, but if I am, I'm not.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!


Solution

  • If you are using the base Anaconda environment, then there are packages that are conflicting with geopandas. I suggest you to create new environment for geopandas:

    open anaconda command line and run this command to create new environment:

    conda create --name gis python==3.8
    

    You can use any version of python you like of course. Then you need to activate it:

    conda activate gis
    

    Now you can install geopandas and jupyter lab if you need it (Personally recommend VSCode):

    conda install -y -c conda-forge geopandas jupyterlab
    
    enter code here
