Importing geopandas keeps failing for Mac - All reported solutions tried

Import geopandas gave me: ImportError: No module named 'geopandas' I researched and applied solutions:

!pip uninstall geopandas six pyproj fiona rtree shapely -y !conda install -c conda-forge fiona shapely rtree pyproj geopandas six !conda upgrade --all

The upgrade operation produced a bodacious list of files being updated and superseded. It concluded with the following message 8 times over, each with a different path:

CondaVerificationError: The package for gxx_impl_linux-64 located at /opt/conda/pkgs/gxx_impl_linux-64-7.2.0-hdf63c60_3 appears to be corrupted. The path 'bin/x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-g++' specified in the package manifest cannot be found.

When I then did the Import geopandas as gpd, I got the 'no module named geopandas' error message again.

I'm on a MacBook Pro using a Jupyter Notebook and I'm out of ideas. Anybody have another idea? Thanks.

I'd suggest you to create new conda environment with all necessary libraries. Before you do that check what channels you have in your conda settings.

$ conda config --get channels
--add channels 'defaults'   # lowest priority
--add channels 'conda-forge'   # highest priority

If you don't have anaconda and conda-forge you have to add them.

$ conda config --add channel conda-forge

Once it's done, create new environment. You don't need to pass six, fiona and other libraries because they will be installed along with geopandas. If you are using Jupyter I recommend you to install ipykernel which allow you to add your environment to list of Jupyter kernels.

conda create --name <name-of-your-env> python=3 geopandas=0.4.0 gdal ipykernel

Hit enter and wait for conda. When installation is finished, activate your environment, test it and if everything is fine register kernel.

conda activate <name-of-your-env>
python -m ipykernel --install --user --name <name-of-your-env> --display-name <name-to-be-displayed>

Enjoy your environment.
