Creating conda environment for GIS in python

This was tested on ubuntu 18.04 LTS following https://automating-gis-processes.github.io/CSC18/course-info/Installing_Anacondas_GIS.html.

Step 1 - Create the conda environment

I'm naming it as geo:

 conda create -n geo python

Step 2 - Install packages

We start by activating the geo environment:

 conda activate geo

Next, install packages:

  conda install numpy pandas scipy matplotlib scikit-learn networkx bokeh statsmodels pyspark geopandas cartopy geoplot osmnx folium dash pysal rasterio rasterstats

Step 3 - Configure jupyter notebook kernel

conda install jupyter ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name geo --display-name "Python (geo)"

Then you can start a jupyter notebook and create a new notebook with the kernel "Python (geo)". You can change the kernel of an existing notebook in the menu Kernel >> Change kernel.
