GDAL is a required library for Geopandas and it needs to be built and compiled on your system and in your path before you pip install geopandas

If you are using homebrew, you can install it with

brew install gdal

and verify the installation by running

gdal-config --version

One note is that Gdal has a lot of dependencies and will take a bit to install. Using homebrew, it worked for me in one shot but it will likely upgrade a number of prerequisites including GCC and perhaps even python itself.

I should note that this worked for me on Catalina. If you are an M1 Mac with Big Sur every tool in this chain may not be upgradeable to native M1 code at this time and you may need some of the workarounds at How to run the Homebrew installer under Rosetta 2 on M1 Macbook
