I am using Python3, mpl_toolkits is there but within it basemap is not there. Can anyone please tell me the process to install it using "pip" command.
Hi Subrota Halder,
the easiest way to install basemap is to use conda as packagemanger. Than you can use ' conda install -c conda-forge basemap' to install basemap.
Kind regards
Sascha
Thanks a lot for your valuable time Sascha Dähne
'conda install -c conda-forge basemap' is working in local system.
Actually I am using HPC of our institute.
To install a python module usually I use
python -m pip install --user module_name
Is there any option like '--user' to install basemap in my user account?
Ok,
the reason seems to be the large dependency on libgeos which is not handled by Pypi, therefore it has to be installed via system.
The way of working should be install libgeos by system package manager, e.g.:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libgeos-3.6.2 libgeos-c1v5 libgeos-dev
Then install via pip:
pip3 install https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/archive/v1.1.0.tar.gz
I hope this works, but I haven't tested it.
maybe take a look at: https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/issues/251 to get more informations.
kind regards
Sascha
Sascha Dähne's instructions worked for me, although with a little twist. I had to re-install matplotlib with:
python -m pip uninstall matplotlib
python -m pip install -U matplotlib
and perform basemap install directly from github:
pip install -U git+https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap.git
Hope it helps ;).
For Windows Users and Python 3.7 this instructions worked for me:
