Install Shapely in Python 3

Question

I cant install the shapely module in my anaconda prompt.

pip install --upgrade setuptools

pip install shapely 


        Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\renau\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-27xf59zz\shapely\

Any solutions?

download .whl file from [unofficial python binaries for windows](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#shapely) and install it using `pip install .whl` — Ahmed Nour Eldeen, May 31 '18 at 13:02

If you are using Anaconda, then it would probably be best to use:

conda install shapely

i guess you are using Windows ? if so, you can't install shapely directly via pip

here's the steps:

go to this site and download desired version of shapely
run this script pip install Shapely‑1.6.4.post1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl

here i'm going to install Shapely version 1.6.4 for python 3.6 running in Windows 64bit
