Installation

Using Anaconda or Miniconda (recommended)

Using conda (latest version recommended), geoarray is installed as follows:

1. Create virtual environment for geoarray (optional but recommended):

   $ conda create -c conda-forge --name geoarray python=3
   $ conda activate geoarray
   

2. Then install geoarray itself:

   $ conda install -c conda-forge geoarray
   

This is the preferred method to install geoarray, as it always installs the most recent stable release and automatically resolves all the dependencies.

Using pip (not recommended)

There is also a pip installer for geoarray. However, please note that geoarray depends on some open source packages that may cause problems when installed with pip. Therefore, we strongly recommend to resolve the following dependencies before the pip installer is run:

• cartopy >=0.20

• gdal >=2.1.0

• geopandas

• holoviews # optional, in case you want to use interactive plotting

• matplotlib

• numpy

• pandas

• pyproj >2.2.0

• scikit-image

• shapely

Then, the pip installer can be run by:

$ pip install geoarray

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
