Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Temp\pycharm-packaging\rasterio\
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 18.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Same error when trying to install in command line; following is cmd line entry:

cd C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.6\Scripts
pip freeze
pip install rasterio

Here's the command line return:

I can't find the gdal-config path. I guessed gdal-data and added that to Windows Environments, but no dice. I installed GDAL following these instructions: https://sandbox.idre.ucla.edu/sandbox/tutorials/installing-gdal-for-windows

  • First, I would use a standard installation of Python, rather than the ArcGIS install. Do you have QGIS installed on your machine, complete with the GDAL tools? – DPSSpatial_BoycottingGISSE Oct 11 '18 at 17:48
  • I would highly recommend using Anaconda to manage your Python environments and keep this separate from Arc's – mikewatt Oct 11 '18 at 18:22
  • @gberard, I'm only using python for ArcGIS work, so would I have to duplicate libraries then? (newbie) – a11 Oct 11 '18 at 18:30
  • Yes, you'd have totally separate environments with a separate interpreter and everything. So for a given project you could use whatever version of Python with whatever version of a particular library. This is my preferred route, since Arc needs a specific version of certain libraries (e.g. numpy). If you update those trying to get other packages to work you can bork everything. I never got GDAL to fully install in Arc's environment back when I tired, FWIW. Basically if you need to use ArcPy then you're somewhat limited with what else you can install – mikewatt Oct 11 '18 at 22:04
  • I have the same issue, trying to install in non-ArcGIS python installation, any ideas how to install? – Oskar Karlsson May 02 '19 at 20:26
  • @Symbionte see if either of these help you: https://my.usgs.gov/confluence/display/EGIS/Using+Anaconda+modules+from+the+ESRI+python+environment or https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/119503/getting-arcpy-to-work-with-anaconda – a11 May 03 '19 at 14:48
