`pip is not installed` error after apparently successful installation about global-protected-areas HOT 4 CLOSED

Hmm, it might be that the code for checking if pip is installed isn't working correctly. Can you access pip from the command line? What happens if you enter the command pip --version?

If that works, then could you please try running the command make all in the command prompt with the working directory set to the global-protected-areas directory? This will bypass the potentially faulty installation checks in the .bat file.

Ok looks like pip was installed correctly, and the version pops up no problem when I run pip --version.

Running make all does work in that the files downloaded and the cleaning process began. However I then had some new errors - first a good old error 999999 on RepairGeometry, and then Out of Memory error 000426 on SimplifyPolygon. Not sure how to deal with those. Maybe I need to split the data & run separately?

Full output here:

Ok, I'm sorry I don't know if I can be much more help. I haven't encountered those errors before when running the code. Is it possible the issue with the repair geometry tool is because I'm running an earlier version of ArcMap (version 10.3)? Also, could the out of memory error be due to differences in the amount of RAM on our systems (my system 16 GB RAM)? In terms of addressing these issue, if you manually open the data in the global-protected-areas/intermediate/1 folder, you can manually inspect the WDPA data in the geodatabase and rerun the repair geometry tool in ArcMap. After that, you could delete the subsequent intermediate directories (i.e. folders named 2 and greater) and try running make all again and see if that fixes it?

Thanks for your help and suggestions. To update, I have no idea why SimplifyPolygon kept running into the out of memory error (I also have 16 GB RAM), but I did manage to simplify the polygons in R instead. From there I manually went through each line in Makefile, with two additional but fixable problems:

1. Dissolve would not work initially because of invalid geometries, so inside the for loop of dissolve_each.py I again had to run RepairGeometry, prior to the dissolve
2. Within remove_slivers.py, Eliminate would throw an error 999998. As suggested here, it runs successfully if run in the foreground of ArcMap

Everything else worked perfectly, and I've been able to complete all the steps. Hooray!
