Good morning. I need to install the Shapely package for using Python for GIS analysis. I searched online and I found that it should be enough to write this line:
conda install -c conda-forge shapely
I'm a total beginner and it is not clear to me if I need to put this line in Python's IDLE or if it is enough to write it in Spyder (which I'm learning to use). I tried both options and the result is always the same:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Do you have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks!
This is something you write in your command prompt on Windows. This assumes that you have conda installed. You may have better luck using pip
, which is bundled with Python by default. The command you type in the command prompt is pip install shapely
. Hope it works for you, good luck!
