Prerequisites

This assumes that you have native python & pip installed in your system, you can test this by going to the terminal (or windows command prompt) and trying. I recommend installation within virtual environment if you are worries about messing up your current environment.

python and then pip list

If you get no errors and you have python 2.7.14 or higher you should be good to go.

This command line tool is dependent on shapely and fiona and as such uses functionality from GDAL For installing GDAL in Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gdal-bin

sudo apt-get install python-gdal

For Windows I found this guide from UCLA

Also for Ubuntu Linux I saw that this is necessary before the install

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
