Classic error! You may always install modules but do so locally: pip install module --user

Hello, Im also trying to install geopandas(pip3.7 install geopandas). But I get an error form pyproj:

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: proj executable not found. Please set the PROJ_DIR variable. For more information see: https://pyproj4.github.io/pyproj/stable/installation.html

Then I follow the instructions of that site and set:

export PROJ_DIR=/usr/local/lib

export PROJ_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib

export PROJ_INCDIR=/usr/local/lib

Then I get the error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/bin/proj': '/usr/local/lib/bin/proj'

How can I install pyproj which is a prerequisite of geopandas?

What do you get if you run

pip3.7 install --user pyproj

...?

If that works, then you'd need to set the environment variables to point to your private installation of pyproj -- the commands would be the same, but with /usr/local/ replaced with $HOME/.local/

pip3.7 install --user pyproj

then I get the error: proj executable not found. Please set the PROJ_DIR variable. For more information see: https://pyproj4.github.io/pyproj/stable/installation.html

export PROJ_DIR=$HOME/.local/lib

export PROJ_LIBDIR=$HOME/.local/lib

export PROJ_INCDIR=$HOME/.local/lib

pip3.7 install --user pyproj

then I get the error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/SpyrosT93B/.local/lib/bin/proj': '/home/SpyrosT93B/.local/lib/bin/proj'

Try changing PROJ_DIR to $HOME/.local/ -- that looks like it might help.

giles | 12095 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | April 6, 2021, 6 p.m. | permalink

export PROJ_DIR=$HOME/.local/

export PROJ_LIBDIR=$HOME/.local/

export PROJ_INCDIR=$HOME/.local/

pip3.7 install --user pyproj

then I get the error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/SpyrosT93B/.local/bin/proj': '/home/SpyrosT93B/.local/bin/proj'

I have my console 19687227 open. I dont know if its posible for you to look in it to see all the details.

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-tz1dr8xk/pyproj/ that comes in red at the bottom

proj_dir and proj_libdir etc are different paths. try just setting proj_dir and not setting anything else (the rest should work by default)

Giles suggested changing proj_dir but leaving the rest.

conrad | 4232 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | April 7, 2021, 1:42 p.m. | permalink

when is set only proj_dir:

15:52 ~ $ export PROJ_DIR=$HOME/.local/
15:53 ~ $ pip3.7 install --user pyproj

Looks like you need to set PROJ_INCDIR if the includes directory is not inside the PROJ directory. See Installation — pyproj 3.0.1 documentation

fjl | 4614 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | April 8, 2021, 8:57 a.m. | permalink

Set it to where?

deleted-user-6495916 | 6 posts | April 8, 2021, 12:58 p.m. | permalink

This is the path to the PROJ include directory. If not set, it assumes it is the includes directory inside the PROJ directory.

So I assume it should be set to where include directory is located for the PROJ.
