We will use several special Python packages to process geodata and to interact with geodatabases. The following list is not comprehensive:

• os
• geopandas
• shapely
• sodapy
• matplotlib
• json
• requests
• etc.

• Create a new Anaconda environment. Do NOT install the packages in the base environment, e.g.

      conda create -c conda-forge -n geo python=3
      conda activate geo
      conda install -c conda-forge ... (or pip install

(For more information, see the file attached conda-cheatsheet.pdf).
