Installing greppo (dependencies)

grndng opened this issue · 4 comments

The installation of Fiona on Windows machines usually doesn't work by default. Since Fiona seems to be a dependency of greppo (and GDAL being a dependency of Fiona, ...) I'd give a hint regarding a manual installation with e.g. the wheel files by Christoph Gohlke.

It probably is up for discussion on whose repository this issue should be submitted and I understand if you think that it isn't the greppo repository since you are targeting Data Scientists that probably know their ways around Python and packages. However, in order to make the library available to a wider audience, I think the accessibility should be as best as possible which is why it might make sense to hint how to get the dependencies right.

@grndng Thanks for flagging this! Just to be clear when you mean hint I'm guessing you mean a hint in the docs right?

@stangirala Sorry for being very late with my reaction. I definitely mean a hint in the documentation :)

@grndng thanks! lmk if you use Greppo and run into other issues!

Added the hint to the Readme. Thanks @grndng :)
