I think they don't recommend using pip install geoplot here is a link to their documentation hope it helps you can use conda though.

Actually neither methods work on google colab. – N Alpha Jan 31 '21 at 11:11
did you try with `conda` colab doesn't support `conda` by default you gotta use anaconda. – DataCrusade1999 Jan 31 '21 at 11:17
Yes, I have tried anaconda too instead of conda. It wouldn't work. – N Alpha Jan 31 '21 at 11:25

Cartopy is required for geoplot. You need to use apt to install it. Then, you can install geoplot with pip normally.

!apt install python3-cartopy
!pip install geoplot

Here's an example colab notebook

I don't know about geoplot but would you mind telling the difference between `pip install pkg` and `!pip install pkg` as both of these give same results in my case – theProcrastinator Feb 09 '21 at 05:02

Colab use auto-magic. So `pip` becomes `%pip` automatically. But `!pip` which call command line is more explicit. Both methods wok, but if you use just `pip`, you cannot have the second line, you must have just 1-line cell. – korakot Feb 09 '21 at 07:18
