kepler.gl: Error install keplergl jupyter widget in windows: Failed building wheel

I followed @victorfgs 's advice and made it! But it took me 2 hours to figure out how to “manually” install these three packages. I hope the following notes would help some start-up programmers like me to save your time.

System: win10

Note 1: Install “manually” does not mean install the “.whl” files to your python library folder!

Note 2: Make sure you have “wheel” in pip lib. pip install wheel

Note 3: Verify the correct version of packages for your pip. Run following code in python to figure out which version of wheel to install: cpxx. Mine is “cp37”. AMD64: import pip._internal;print(pip._internal.pep425tags.get_supported()) win32: import pip; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())

Note 4: Go to sharpely/gdal/fiona to download “.whl” file, which supports your pip version. Mine are “{PackageName}‑3.0.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl”

Note 5: Get the absolute path of your “.whl” file (careful with ""). And run pip install path_of_whl_file

Note 6: After you successfully download above packages, you can easily install keplergl by running pip install keplergl

just had the same issue on Windows 10 here @GennyGeo solved by:

• installing shapely manually;
• installing gdal manually
• installing fiona manually

hope you can make it work too 😉

I have meet the same questions .when I install keplergl in anaconda, my os is windows10. My solution to the problem is:

1. Create a new virtual environment via conda.
2. Manually download and install the sharpely/gdal/fiona package as directed by victorfgs and ricardoCyy.
3. When running the import kelpergl module in the jupyter notebook, the same problem as bosges occurred.
4. Run the conda install fiona command in the virtual environment to reinstall fiona and its related packages. Restart the virtual environment in the jupyter notebook and you’re done.

Since I am just a python enthusiast, not a professional, the method is not necessarily good, but I still hope that this experience is useful to everyone.

Thank you very much @victorfgs @ricardoCyy !!! I will try to follow your advice! Have a nice day! 😃

Hi @heshan0131 , I’m trying to install keplergl for jupyter on Windows OS and I’m facing the following problem:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

Sorry, I am not a programmer I have been programming in python for a short time, please can you give me more suggestions about how to modify the setup.py file?

I tried also to install Jupyter and keplergl outside the anaconda environment and this is what I get:

U save my time!!! Thanks

@ruvenguna can you try install keplergl==0.1.0a6 in anaconda?
