Python 3.6 Module cannot be found: Folium

Question

I am trying to import folium into a Jupyter notebook I'm working on and I cannot seem to solve the import issues with the Folium library. Has anyone else solved this problem?

!pip install folium
import pandas as pd
import folium

Output from the above yields:

`ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-a9938c267a0c> in <module>()
      1 get_ipython().system('pip install folium')
      2 import pandas as pd
----> 3 import folium

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'folium'`

Answer 1

It is not available via default conda channel. Try using conda-forge channel to install folium as show below:

conda install -c conda-forge folium

Answer 2

From the source:

• Choose the sandbox folder of your choice (~/sandbox for example)

  $ mkdir visualization
  $ cd visualization
  

• Clone folium from github:

  $ git clone https://github.com/python-visualization/folium
  

• Run the installation script

  $ cd folium
  $ python setup.py install
