Installation
It is highly recommended that you use the conda package manager to install all the requirements. You can either install Miniconda or the (larger) Anaconda distribution. It is also recommended that you install git so that you can clone this GitHub reposiotry to your computer.
Once conda and git are installed, the following commands will create a virtual Python environment named pygeo and install all the required packages:
git clone https://github.com/giswqs/python-geospatial.git
cd python-geospatial/binder/
conda env create -f environment.yml
source activate pygeo
ipython kernel install --user --name="pygeo"
