Doc : nodejs 14 required for pip install #493

Open yougis opened 3 years ago

yougis commented 3 years ago

When I needed to install geoviews in my virtualenv, I needed to install sources by pip.

In the index doc it 's wrote :

GeoViews itself is also installable using pip, but to do that you will first need to have installed the dependencies of cartopy, or else have set up your system to be able to build them.

So I did. But I also needed to install nodejs 14. so that's it, geoviews could be compile from source. Maybe we can add this information to the doc.

Hmm, shouldn't it fetch the wheel without executing the setup.py?

Don't know how i works internally but I get an error about needing NodeJS >= 14 (I had Node 12)... sorry, I did not keep the stacktrace

Thanks in any case, I'll investigate.
