What is your docker image?

What is your docker image?

FROM arm64v8/ubuntu:16.04

problem solved when RUN pip install pyproj==1.9.6

[snowman2]

It seems wheels are not available for that platform & python version combination. To use the new version of pyproj, you will need to install PROJ 6.0.0. See: https://pyproj4.github.io/pyproj/html/installation.html

Feel free to reopen if your issue persists. Closing as resolution found.
