## Installation
GeoPandas is written in pure Python, but has several dependencies written in C
([GEOS](https://geos.osgeo.org), [GDAL](https://www.gdal.org/), [PROJ](https://proj.org/)). Those base C libraries can sometimes be a challenge to
install. Therefore, we advise you to closely follow the recommendations below to avoid
installation problems.
### Easy way
The best way to install GeoPandas is using ``conda`` and ``conda-forge`` channel:
```
conda install -c conda-forge geopandas
```
### Detailed instructions
Do you prefer ``pip install`` or installation from source? Or want to install a specific version? See
{doc}`detailed instructions <getting_started/install>`.
### What now?
- If you don't have GeoPandas yet, check {doc}`Installation <getting_started/install>`.
- If you have never used GeoPandas and want to get familiar with it and its core
functionality quickly, see {doc}`Getting Started Tutorial <getting_started/introduction>`.
- Detailed illustration of how to work with different parts of GeoPandas, make maps,
manage projections, spatially merge data or geocode are part of our
{doc}`User Guide <docs/user_guide>`.
- And if you are interested in the complete
documentation of all classes, functions, method and attributes GeoPandas offers,
{doc}`API Reference <docs/reference>` is here for you.
