## Installation

MovingPandas for Python >= 3.7 and all it's dependencies are available from [conda-forge](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/movingpandas) and can be installed using 

`conda install -c conda-forge movingpandas`
 
 or faster using 
 
 `mamba install -c conda-forge movingpandas`


Note that it is **NOT recommended** to install MovingPandas from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/movingpandas/)!
If you're on Windows or Mac, many GeoPandas / MovingPandas dependencies cannot be pip installed 
(for details see the corresponding notes in the [GeoPandas documentation](https://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/install.html)).
On Ubuntu, pip install fails on cartopy with "Proj 4.9.0 must be installed".


## Development installation 

Use the following steps to run the notebooks using the current development version:


### Using conda / mamba

```
conda env create -f environment.yml
```

### Develop mode

To install MovingPandas in ["develop" or "editable" mode](https://python-packaging-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup_py.html#develop-mode) you may use: 

```
python setup.py develop
```

## Related Python packages

**For a more comprehensive list, including non-Python solutions, check https://github.com/anitagraser/movement-analysis-tools**

[scikit-mobility](https://github.com/scikit-mobility/scikit-mobility) is a similar package which also deals with movement data. 
It implements TrajectoryDataFrames and FlowDataFrames on top of Pandas instead of GeoPandas. 
There is little overlap in the covered use cases and implemented functionality (comparing 
[MovingPandas tutorials](https://github.com/movingpandas/movingpandas/tree/main/tutorials) and 
[scikit-mobility tutorials](https://github.com/scikit-mobility/tutorials)). 
MovingPandas focuses on spatio-temporal data exploration with corresponding functions for data manipulation and analysis. 
scikit-mobility on the other hand focuses on computing human mobility metrics, generating synthetic trajectories 
and assessing privacy risks. Plotting is based on Folium. 

[Traja](https://github.com/traja-team/traja) extends the capabilitis of Pandas DataFrames specific for animal trajectory analysis in 2D. Plots (static) are based on seaborn. 

[PyMove](https://github.com/InsightLab/PyMove) provides functionality similar to MovingPandas. 
It implements PandasMoveDataFrames and DaskMoveDataFrame on top of Pandas and Dask DataFrames. Plotting is based on Folium. 

[Tracktable](https://github.com/sandialabs/tracktable) is a related Python package with its core data structures and algorithms implemented in C++, i.e. it is not based on Pandas. Plotting is based on Cartopy (for still images) and Folium (for interactive rendering).
