Failed to Install Geowombat on pip and conda

[ShabaniMagawila]

Hello folks, I having the problem to Install Geowombat by using both pip and anaconda. I got some errors, and I post them here below. Please anyone to assist me the whole process.

1. Using Jupyter Lab with Pip command I use this command to install: 'pip install geowombat I use this code: 'pip install git+https://github.com/jgrss/geowombat'

2. Installing using Anaconda Prompt: Jupyter Notebook I use this code: 'conda install geowombat'

With conda

1) for pip you will need to set up a virtual environment with 3.8<=py<=3.10. 3.11 is not supported yet.

2) conda takes a long time to solve environments, but it should work. Make sure you set up a conda env with the desired python version

conda create -gw_env python=3.10 geowombat -c conda-forge conda activate gw_env python

@ShabaniMagawila following on @mmann1123's answer, if you do not want to use conda, pyenv is a good option. With pyenv, you could install a specific version of Python and then install geowombat inside that environment.

List available Python versions

pyenv install --list

Install Python 3.10

pyenv install 3.10.12

Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10 (venv.gw is the new environment name)

pyenv virtualenv 3.10.12 venv.gw

Activate the virtual environment

pyenv activate venv.gw

Install geowombat

(venv.gw) pip install git+https://github.com/jgrss/geowombat

Exit the virtual environment

pyenv deactivate

Even using Python 3.10.12 in a fresh Miniconda installation on Windows 11, conda cannot solve the environment for geowombat.

conda create -n gw_env python=3.10 geowombat -c conda-forge

Attempting the process with python 3.8 or 3.9 fails as well. Dependencies (rasterio, rioxarray, etc.) do not encounter any issues. I believe there is a legitimate issue here that is not related to using a python version that is not yet supported.

The issue is specific to the classic solver in conda. The environment can be solved successfully by the libmamba solver. Additionally, installing by pip in a 3.10.12 installation succeeds.

[mmann1123]

huh... that is surprising given the it passes all the build tests here. Good to know. I will try to take a look at it on my work computer. But be patient with us. We are just 2 guys doing this in our free time.

[twnawrocki]

@mmann1123 Absolutely. I intended my above post only as an FYI; the issue may not be worth looking into given functioning alternatives. The situation may also be indicative of a problem or bug in the classic solver. Regardless, I greatly appreciate the work that you and @jgrss are doing!

@ShabaniMagawila and others who may encounter a problem when trying to install geowombat through conda, I suggest the switching to the libmamba solver.

conda update -n base conda
conda install -n base conda-libmamba-solver
conda config --set solver libmamba

conda create -n gw_env python=3.10 geowombat

Hello friends, Thanks for your help, in one way or another you direct me into the solution to my problem above. I like to inform you that your options made me to solve the problem. My sincere thanks reach out to you folks, I would like also to share how I managed to solve this problem. Thanks

[ShabaniMagawila]

Step 1: Install Anaconda Make sure to install Anaconda to the directory that doesnt have a space in between, see below image, the user "Shabani Magawila" has space in between. So avoid that.

You can managed this by either install Anaconda to other Directory like in local disk "C:/ProgramData" or by create a new Window user with no space in between, like below image.

Step 2: Create Python Environment with appropriate specificification Remember geowombat works with Pythom 3.10, so you have to create environment with python==3.10, for me I created environment called "spatial". with python version 3.10.12

Step 3: Add "conda-forge" channel to the conda environment First, make sure to activate your environment as base env. Then add conda-forge with below command, see more See below, I have 3 channels added into my environment.

Step 4: Install packages through conda-forge (e.g: GDAL) Before to install any package in the conda-forge, make sure to set "conda-forge" as default channel by bring it on top of others, use this command below. See more

Then install "GDAL" by using conda-forge command

Step 5: Install Geowombat Finally, use pip command to install geowombat, you're done!

Happy Learning!

Hey all, conda create -n test geowombat -c conda-forge is working fine on my windows computer - as it is on the conda-forge build pipelines.

As a general rule I highly recommend using mambaforge instead of conda (although it looks like the new mamba style solver might resolve some of the lag).

@twnawrocki Did you manage to get it installed? If not, please send some details on the error and maybe I can point you in the right direction.

[twnawrocki]

@mmann1123 Yes, my install worked with the libmamba solver (and I tested with success for mamba and pip as well). Interesting that the classic conda solver succeeds on your machine (and on the conda-forge pipelines). This seems like a potential bug in the classic solver itself. No objections from me if you'd like to close this issue.

[mmann1123]

Good to hear it is working, odd about the classic solver
