Step-by-step to guide you how to install geopandas on macOS.

Environment: Make sure you are using python in anaconda environment.

I have a problem installing geopandas, so here I provide an alternative solution to install it.

Steps
1. Install geopandas (by officinal guide)
2. Install one dependence

Step 1. Install geopandas

(bash) >>> conda install -c conda-forge geopandas

After installation, if you have import error like this:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/<username>/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/fiona/ogrext.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libuuid.1.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/<username>/anaconda3/lib/libgdal.20.dylib
Reason: image not found

Try step 2 to install some dependences

Step 2. Install one dependence. According to the issue.

(bash) >>> conda install -c conda-forge fiona

Now, let’s test it.

(bash) >>> python
(python) >>> import geopandas
