All packages in covidcast-indicators assume a linux environment. There are no plans to add or maintain cross-platform support, but we should probably mention system requirements in the README files.
Why does validator even need Fiona/geopandas?
@chinandrew I think it's just because it imports covidcast, which pulls it in as a dependency for creating graphs.
I ran into issues while attempting to run through the setup instructions in the validator/README.md on a Windows machine while using Git Bash:
env/scripts
in place ofenv/bin
throughoutpip install ../validator
errored out:I was able to solve the issue by following this StackOverflow answer and running Git Bash as an administrator
We should make a note of the issues in the README and ideally make a change to the package so it won't error out when installing.
