installation issue

Hi guys,

I'm hitting into an installation issue recently as following (I also upgraded my pip installation and it didn't fix):

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

You should consider upgrading via the 'c:\program files\anaconda3\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Any thoughts of how to overcome this?

are you stuck using pip over conda? That error is coming from fiona (through geopandas) because it cant find your gdal installation. Starting a clean anaconda environment and using conda to install geopandas and friends is the quickest way to resolve, but if you're stuck using pip you might try reinstalling gdal or something. Unfortunately this can be tough to debug if you're doing everything through pip

Ow, got it! I think I'll swap to condaenv and I'll close this issue since this is not segregation's related! Thanks!
