Issue Installing geemap/ geemap isn't compatible with Jupyter notebook

The Issue

I am having an issue installing geemap.

• [ ] The Goal to have the ability to run geemap in our notebook for interactive maps

• [ ] The Problem

Geemap doens't seem to be compatible with jupyter notebook. It seems that I have installed it correctly because when I import it on our notebook there are no error messages (and when I create a test map there is a map that pops up, however it is blank). This is what it looks like:

• [ ] Prior Attempts I have tried to install geemap two ways. one as it's own environment which is what seems to be recommended. This is separate from our earth-analytics env, which I figured we would need to have the packages in the earth-analytics env since that is what we are running our project through. The other way is within the earth-analytics environment. When I installed it in this environment, everything seemed to run well on our notebook, and I did see geemap work however it produced the blank map in the output.

Is it possible that it needs to be its own fresh environment as they recommend? or does that matter and it's just an issue with jupyter notebook compatibility?

I've looked into it and there are a few solutions in regards to how geemap interacts with jupyter notebook, and I have installed the extension that it requires. Here is how I installed it when I was already in the earth-analytics-python environment:

conda install geemap -c conda-forge conda install jupyter_contrib-nbextensions -c conda-forge jupyter contrib nbextension install --user

I found this useful in regards to the blank map issue, but I am still running into the same problem: https://geemap.org/installation/#install-from-conda-forge.

  • [ ] Mac OS version 10.13.6
  • [ ] Python version ($ Python 3.8.12)
  • [ ] 6.23 GB available of 121.12 GB

Additionally, I know that there is a package called ipyleaflet that is also recommended to use with jupyter notebook. When I installed this and used: m = ipyleaflet.Map() m

I got a similar blank map return. The body of the map did look different and there were no error messages so I assumed that it worked but only without the actual content of the map.

Thank you!

Hi Leah,

I think maybe you have to enable inline plotting in your notebook, e.g.

%matplotlib inline

Or alternatively, depending on how the plotting is happening:

%pylab inline

(see https://geemap.org/notebooks/surface_water_mapping/#apply-the-algorithm-to-all-images or https://geemap.org/notebooks/51_cartoee_projections/)

Give that a try and let me know if it works (or if you already tried that)
