Installation

Note

footbridge supports vector feature class and raster dataset operations on geodatabases. Raster support depends on GDAL, which is included when installed in a conda environment. Installing with pip only supports vector operations by default. See details below.

Conda (recommended)

In an active conda environment:

conda install footbridge -c conda-forge

Pip

For vector feature class support only:

python -m pip install footbridge

For vector and raster dataset support you must have already installed the GDAL binaries (version >= 3.8), then:

python -m pip install footbridge[raster]

On Windows you can easily install GDAL via cgohlke’s geospatial-wheels with:

pip install --index https://gisidx.github.io/gwi gdal

ArcGIS Pro

Warning

This is experimental and may not work depending on your installation of ArcGIS!

To install in an ArcGIS Pro conda environment:

1. Open the Python Command Prompt, which can be launched from the Start Menu > All Programs > ArcGIS > Python Command Prompt.

2. Create a new cloned environment:

   conda create --clone arcgispro-py3 --name arcgispro-py3-clone
   

3. Activate the new environment:

   proswap arcgispro-py3-clone
   

4. Install footbridge:

   conda install -c conda-forge footbridge
   

5. Test the installation:

   python -c "import footbridge"
