Answer a question

I am trying to install the geopandas package with Anaconda Prompt, but after I use conda install geopandas an unexpected thing happened:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: -
Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages

After this, it proceeds to search for conflicts, but hours pass without finishing. In the end, I still cannot use geopandas.

I have also tried installing geopandas in a different virtual environment and it works but I do not know how to use the environment in Jupyter Notebooks.

I would like to know, how can install geopandas without a separate environment?

Or, alternatively, how can I use geopandas in Jupyter Notebooks after install it in a separate environment?

You can install geopandas with pip, however, geopandas requires other dependencies (such as pandas, fiona, shapely, pyproj, rtree). You need to make sure that they are properly installed. After that you should be able to use them in jupyter with a simple import geopandas.
