Install¶

Momepy, similar to GeoPandas, can be a bit complicated to install. However, if you follow the recommended instructions below, there should be no issue. For more details on issues with the geospatial Python stack, please refer to the GeoPandas installation instructions.

Install via Conda¶

As momepy is dependent on geopandas and other spatial packages, we recommend installing all dependencies via conda from conda-forge:

conda install -c conda-forge momepy

Conda should be able to resolve any dependency conflicts and install momepy together with all necessary dependencies.

If you do not have conda-forge in your conda channels, you can add it using:

conda config --add channels conda-forge

To ensure that all dependencies will be installed from conda-forge, we recommend using strict channel priority:

conda config --env --set channel_priority strict

Creating a New Environment for momepy¶

If you want to make sure that everything will work as it should, you can create a new conda environment for momepy. Assuming we want to create a new environment called momepy_env:

conda create -n momepy_env
conda activate momepy_env
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install momepy

Install via pip¶

Momepy is also available on PyPI, but ensure that all dependencies are properly installed before installing momepy. Some C dependencies cause problems with installing using pip only:

pip install momepy

Install from the Repository¶

If you want to work with the latest development version of momepy, you can do so by cloning the GitHub repository and installing momepy from the local directory:

git clone https://github.com/pysal/momepy.git
cd momepy
pip install .

Alternatively, you can install the latest version directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/pysal/momepy.git

Installing directly from the repository might face the same dependency issues described above for installing using pip. To ensure that the environment is properly prepared and every dependency works as intended, you can install them using conda before installing the development version of momepy:

conda install -c conda-forge geopandas networkx libpysal tqdm

Dependencies¶

Required dependencies:

• geopandas

• libpysal

• networkx

• tqdm

Some functions also depend on additional packages, which are optional:

• mapclassify

• inequality

• numba

• esda
