Problem installing on Ubuntu about osmnx HOT 8 CLOSED

@ocefpaf great point. I've pointed people toward the ioos channel in the past and I should probably update those instructions to point to conda-forge instead.

from osmnx.

@ocefpaf Thanks for the tip! That worked.

Note to anyone with similar issues:
Once I ran that and installed osmnx, I tried importing osmnx in the Python interpreter and got a libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.20 not found error. conda install libgcc fixed that issue.

Thanks again for the help. I'm looking forward to playing around with OSMnx...

sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev i think

from osmnx.

As @jmz-b points out, the shapely install instructions tell you to install GEOS via sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev on Debian/Ubuntu if you don't already have it.

from osmnx.

I tried this on a fresh install of Ubuntu:

1. Installed Anaconda using the Python 2.7 64-bit install from Continuum.
2. Ran conda install -c ioos rtree=0.8.2
3. Ran sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev
4. Tried to run pip install osmnx and got the same error as before.

sudo dpkg -S libgeos-dev shows it is installed.
dpkg -S | grep Status returns

Status: install ok installed

My guess is something is wrong with my install of libgeos-dev, but I'm not clear on next steps on trouble shooting that...

from osmnx.

find / | grep -E libgeos_c.so.1,add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf, and ldconfig maybe helpful

from osmnx.

@GordanBuckingham you might want to check with the GEOS folks directly regarding getting libgeos-dev installed and working properly on your system. Alternatively, the shapely folks might have some insight as it's their package that uses GEOS directly. For now I'm going to close this issue as it's a matter of installing shapely/libgeos, not with OSMnx.

from osmnx.

@GordanBuckingham if using conda try this:

conda install -c conda-forge osmnx

The ioos channel is deprecated and you should always use conda-forge instead. (I am a maintainer in both BTW 😉)
