Error Installing Geopandas:" a Gdal API Version Must Be Specified " in Anaconda

Error when installing 'geopandas' in cmd terminal

Pip is good for some simple installation tasks, such as pure-python installs.
If complex binary deps are getting you down,
a more sophisticated tool would be a better match
for your needs.

Create / activate an empty conda environment,
and then follow the install instructions:

$ conda install -c conda-forge geopandas

Conda install and update do not work also solving environment get errors

I ran into the same problem and I couldn't find a solution, but I did find a workaround. If you create an env and activate that env and then do the install, it seems to work just fine. If you don't need a lot of libraries I would try that.

Commands are:

1. Create env

conda create --name myenv

2. Activate the env

conda activate myenv
