How to install Matplotlib's basemap?

It is unclear to me how to install Matplotlib's Basemap on Windows. Maybe the question is straightforward, I need some help.

I followed this tutorial. As far as I understand, first, GEOS and PROJ4 should be installed, and lastly matplotlib-1.4.3.win-amd64-py2.7.exe should be executed.

I get stuck with GEOS. I downloaded source code of geos-3.5.0, "untarred" it, then I go to a Command Prompt, change directory to geos-3.5.0 and run this:

export d://test

but it does not work.

Currently there is fastest way to install basemap using mamba. Infact, you can install any library from mamba. first thing to do you must install mamba, with this command; conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge, then you can proceed installing basemap using the command mamba install basemap. After completion the installation, please set your path environment as PROJ_LIB in user variable and set your packages proj-7.2.0 location.

I had the same issue as I pip installed and then conda installed and then had to do a clean install as dependencies were a mess.

At that time I solved my problem by using Google Colab and installing the following:

!apt-get install -q libgeos-3.5.0
!apt-get install -q libgeos-dev
!pip install -q https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/archive/master.zip
!pip install -q pyproj==1.9.6

I would also recommend reading Importing-of-Basemap-in-Google-Colab as it helped with Colab installation.

This is the alternate solution that might useful for anaconda users

For only Anaconda Users, they can get it to install on the local machine through the following command:

conda install basemap

This will auto-install all required dependency packages.

Here also, Assuming that User are at the right directory to install any module.

Use this download for basemap on Windows.

It worked for me:

pip install basemap-1.0.8-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

Assuming you're in right directory of course.
