Unable to install geoplot with pipenv under Ubuntu 20.04LTS

[kaufmanno]

Hi,

I am trying to install geoplot with pipenv under Ubuntu 20.04LTS. I get an error saying that Proj version 6.3.1 is installed, but cartopy requires at least version 8.0.0.

It seems to be related to issue #1879 of cartopy.

What would be the latest version of geoplot installable with pip (or pipenv) without having to install Proj8.0.0 from source on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or 20.04 LTS?

Cheers

geoplot makes no guarantee of that it can be installed using pip, only conda—see further Installation in the docs.

Anyway, geoplot don't pin a specific cartopy version in its setup.py at this time. Since the dependency issue you are referring to is related to the 0.20.0 release, I would simply pip install cartopy==0.19.x (or do the equivalent with conda). You should then be able to install any version of geoplot.
