I am aiming to analyse geodata in python but fail on step 1: the installation. I'm relatively new to python and used to installing packages with pip. Now, for geopandas, it looks like I'm supposed to use conda install. Sadly, I get an error.
What I did: I downloaded the most recent anconda software and typed 'conda install geopandas' in the anaconda prompt (anaconda3).
Reading similar questions online I saw some questions solved by updating anaconda, but since I downloaded the version on the homepage I would expect it to be up to date. Also, I didn't find any entries with error code similar to mine.
From what I gather from the response, anaconda didn't even manage to find the package (first line of the below code). However, I am not very experienced in the analysis of error code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
