can't install basemap package in linux

I am trying to install basemap in linux system using pip install --user basemap. But I am getting the following error.

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement basemap-data<2.0,>1.2 (from basemap) (from versions: 1.3.0a1, 1.3.0b1)
No matching distribution found for basemap-data<2.0,>1.2 (from basemap)

I don't want to install this using conda. Does anyone have any solution? I am using Python2.7.15.

This happened because at that time only basemap v1.3.0b1 was available (a beta release). When trying to resolve its dependencies, basemap-data v1.3.0b1 was not found because pip did not count the beta release of basemap-data as a valid candidate.

This is now solved with the stable release v1.3.0 of basemap. Since you are using GNU/Linux and Python 2.7.15, you can install it with pip as usual (precompiled binary wheels are available):

python -m pip install basemap

Note that basemap does not install the high resolution datasets by default. In case you need them, you need to install them with pip too:

python -m pip install basemap-data-hires

Disclaimer: I am the current basemap maintainer.
