Install

SVInsight has been tested with Python 3.9 through 3.12. It also requires the following dependencies: census, factor_analyzer, geopandas, numpy, pandas, pytest, PyYAML, scikit_learn, openpyxl, and matplotlib.

Installation via pip

To pip-install this package use the following command:

$ pip install SVInsight

SVInsight can then be imported into python:

>>> from svinsight import SVInsight as svi

SVInsight has dependencies that rely on gdal, which may require its own prior installation based on your operating system and coding environment. For example:

• On macOS:

  brew install gdal
  

• On Ubuntu:

  sudo apt-get install gdal-bin libgdal-dev
  

• On Windows:

  pip install gdal==<version> --find-links https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
  

An alternative work around that has been known to work is to pip install the package in a conda environment after first installing the geopandas package, which will install the necessary dependencies for gdal.

Installation via conda

This package will be available from conda-forge soon.
