Trying to install GeoPandas using Anaconda for Python 2 (geopandas version in anaconda navigator is 0.6.1).
I also have ArcGIS 10.7 pre installed. First when I tried to install it through the navigator I got this message:
geopandas -> python[version='>=3.5|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.7|>=3.6']
Your python: python=2.7
If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for. When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify that.
Then tried to create a new env and declare I meant for Python 2 and not 3 use this commands which I saw in the offical GeoPandas page.
conda create -n geo_env
conda activate geo_env
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install python=2 geopandas
When I ran those commands in the anaconda prompt I got this message in the picture below saying there is a package conflict between pandas to geopandas (tried also to uninstall all dependencies (shapely,pandas etc) from anaconda navigator and then run the commands again but got the same message in the picture below).
conda create -n geo_env python=2, then activate and install geopandas. Or, all at once,conda create -n geo_env geopandas python=2
