GIS Python Virtual Environment Setup for Windows PCs

GIS Python Virtual Environment Setup for Windows PCs

I have run into some troubles using pip install for some of the more common GIS Python libraries. I wrote this bash script to help easily create a Python virtual environment, with some of the essential GIS libraries (e.g., geopandas).

Instructions

Note: I use Git Bash to execute my shell script

1. Open gen_env.sh and ensure there aren't any additional libraries that you would like to include.
   
2. Make executable using chmod +x gen_env.sh
   
3. Execute using . gen_env.sh <venv_name>
   

And that's it!
