Questions about geemap installation

[AomineKai]

Greetings, Mr. Wu!

   I installed a brand new anaconda today, version 23.7.4, python version 3.11.5, nothing in the base environment, and then created a new geemap environment, using both conda install -c conda-forge geemap and conda install -c conda-forge mamba. Both conda install -c conda-forge mamba and conda install -c conda-forge

Then I used pip install geemap to install it, it seems to be successful, but when import ee, it suggests that the module is not available, then I tried again using pip install pygis, and I got this error.


I'm really cracking up, the computer is new, there shouldn't be any problems with the environment, why can't geemap mamba be installed, and why can't I use pip to install these?

Do not use VPN when installing packages

[giswqs]

conda create -n gee python=3.11
conda activate gee
pip install geemap

This answer helped me resolve a different issue when opening jupyter notebook in my gee conda env (picture).

It was giving this warning after following the installation steps here: https://geemap.org/installation/#install-from-conda-forge
This guide still has python 3.10 as the requirement but after installing with 3.11, everything works just fine. Also, I couldn't manage to get mamba to install geemap but this latter issue may be unrelated.

Thank you, @giswqs for your immense contributions to the open source community.

geemap supports Python 3.8-3.12. The error you got likely system specific. You can create a new conda env and install jupyterlab/notebook without geemap. If you still get the same error, that means it is not a geemap issue.

Regarding mamba, would you be able to install other packages other than geemap? If not, it is a mamba issue.

Okay, I can confirm that jupyter notebook was throwing the first error. As far as mamba, I believe its a dependency/system specific issue on mamba side since the error occurs across different python versions (error attached). For now the solution with using python 3.11 and installing with pip works well. I'm running Linux Mint.

It seems mamba breaks your base conda env. Try creating a new conda env as follows. Do NOT install packages into the base env.

conda create -n gee python=3.11
conda activate gee
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba install -c conda-forge geemap

Okay, that still did not work unfortunately. It runs into module installation issues (restarted kernel, reactivated env, etc). I reinstalled anaconda and created a fresh conda environment for gee. Is anaconda maybe cluttering the dependencies?

[giswqs]

Something is wrong with your conda env. It is not supposed to install packages to the path ~/.local/lib/. It should be ~/.conda/envs/gee. Try removing python stuff under the .local directory.

Alright, I tried a number of ways to remove the "IPP Extension Server Error" and to clean up the strange directory path issue. Most attempts still resulted in one of the two errors. This included playing around with dask-labextension, ipykernel, and even trying to disable Jupyter passwords to override the Jupyter token authentication (not recommended) In the end, I had to install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions as shown on the geemap website. I guess some of the Jupyter extensions (optional dependencies) there were necessary for my Linux version.

Here's what worked on my Linux Mint 21.1:
conda create -n gee python=3.11
conda activate gee
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba install -c conda-forge geemap / pip install geemap
conda install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions -c conda-forge

Thank you for all the help! Perhaps this is helpful to someone else with the same installation issue.
