Error trying to run the FeatureDependence.ipynb

[Best-BViriyaroj]

I tried to import the packages, and there's an error
I was expecting that the installation would go through

##What did I do
I ran the code given in class

Code:
%%capture
!pip install geopandas
!pip install libpysal

import numpy as np
import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import statsmodels.api as sm
from statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence import variance_inflation_factor
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
from sklearn.model_selection import RepeatedKFold
from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge
from sklearn.linear_model import Lasso
from sklearn.linear_model import ElasticNet
from numpy import mean
from numpy import std
from numpy import absolute
from libpysal.weights.contiguity import Queen
import libpysal
from statsmodels.api import OLS
sns.set_style('white')

Error message:

Can you confirm which python environment you are using? I was able to reproduce your error using the "Python 3 (ipykernel)" environment. Could you try changing your kernel in the top right of the notebook interface? Some screenshots below to help:

[Best-BViriyaroj]

Hi Clay! I used the waterdig kernel. When I changed to geostats_env, it only showed the warning. However, I heard from Pierre that afterwards there's going to be an error during step 2? I haven't reached that part yet so I don't know if there's going to be an error or not.

[wc-caldwell]

Yeah the warning is nothing really to worry about, I think you can ignore it.

For the error in step 2 you should check my reply in #7. It has something to do with old fiona checking if a file you want to open is a zipfile
