Installation

This package depends on GeoPandas and Dask. In addition, it also requires either Shapely >= 2.0, or the PyGEOS package.

GeoPandas is written in pure Python, but has several dependencies written in C (GEOS, GDAL, PROJ). Those base C libraries can sometimes be a challenge to install. Therefore, we advise you to closely follow the recommendations to avoid installation problems.

Easy way

The best way to install Dask-GeoPandas is using conda or mamba and conda-forge channel:

conda install -c conda-forge dask-geopandas

pip

You can install Dask-GeoPandas with pip from PyPI but make sure that your environment contains properly installed GeoPandas (note that Dask-GeoPandas does not use fiona which therefore doesn’t have to be installed). See the GeoPandas installation instructions for details.

pip install dask-geopandas

Fresh environment

One way to install all required dependencies is to use the conda package manager to create a new environment:

conda create -n geo_env
conda activate geo_env
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install dask-geopandas
