Getting error code 1 while installing geopandas with pip

Question

This is the error I get when trying to install geopandas using pip install geopandas. I'm using Python 3.7.

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I have already tried a bunch of other methods, like upgrading setuptools or downloading the Fiona and GDAL binary files, but none of them seem to work.

As the Traceback says: Download this

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

This will give you the C++ libs required by the lib that you're installing

The problem is in compiling pyproj. Try to install a pre-compiled binary from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyproj
