Installation fails for Fiona and Geopandas with GDAL on Python 3.6 on Microsoft Windows OS?

问题

I need to install Geopandas which depends on Fiona and GDAL with pip on Python 3.6. I have installed the GDAL library on Python using the wheel file downloaded from here.

Processing c:\users\_chena\downloads\gdal-2.4.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Installing collected packages: GDAL
Successfully installed GDAL-2.4.1

Then I tried to pip3 install geopandas. I encountered the following error:

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\_chena\A
ppData\Local\Temp\2\pip-install-vy05tre2\fiona\

I can't find anywhere that the gdal-data directory is located. Given the error log as such A GDAL API version must be specified. Provide a path to gdal-config using a GDAL_CONFIG environment variable or use a GDAL_VERSION environment variable., how can I go about setting the GDAL_CONFIG environment variable with the Python GDAL library installed through pip3?

回答1:

The only solution seems to be installing the ready binaries from here ~gohlke

https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal

Then, just install the required libraries locally. For me, I did the following in this order (Python 3.8.6)

pip install GDAL-3.1.4-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

pip install Fiona-1.8.18-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

pip install geopandas-0.8.1-py3-none-any.whl
