Installation Cartopy

Question

I’m trying to install the cartopy library. But I’m not getting it. Can someone help me? I tried by pypi and returned the following error:

C:\Users\Rafa>pip install cartopy

Collecting cartopy
  Using cached Cartopy-0.15.1.tar.gz
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\rafa\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\site-packages\pip\compat\__init__.py", line 73, in console_to_str
    return s.decode(sys.__stdout__.encoding)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 9: invalid continuation byte

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I tried also by anaconda and returns that can only be installed with version 3.6 of python, but I have version 3.6 and 3.6.3 already installed

(C:\Users\Rafa\Anaconda3) C:\Users\Rafa\Documents>conda install -c scitools cartopy

Answer 1

Try using:

Conda install -c Conda-Forge cartopy=0.15.1

Answer 2

Completing the @Vegas response, according to documentation ( In English ) the easiest way to install the Cartopy in all Platforms is using the Conda, with the following command.

conda install -c conda-forge cartopy

You can also install from the source code available on Github, after cloning the repository, execute the command on Terminal, Power Shell, etc...:

python setup.py install

The Cartopy requisition of the package python-numpy if using distributions Linux, can install from command:

apt-get install python-numpy

You may need to install the Developing, for this use the command:

apt-get install python-numpy-dev
