I am using Jupyter from Anaconda and trying to import a shapefile with following command line:
import geopandas as gpd
gdf = gpd.read_file('C:\Downloads\Temp\shapefile\regions.shp')
print (gdf)
gdf.plot()
However, I got following errors:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImportError: the 'read_file' function requires the 'fiona' package, but it is not installed or does not import correctly.

I have geopanda installed and not sure what is the problem.
