Unable to resolve the ValueError: The create_choropleth figure factory requires the plotly-geo package

Question

I was trying to use the create_choropleth function from figure_factory following the example plotly provided on their tutorial but kept on getting error messages as listed below.

I've tried installing the plotly-geo package as well as reinstalling (and re-import) geopandas, plotly, pyshp and shapely, but nothing seems to work.

Do I need to install/import some other module that I'm unaware of?

I felt it is a very basic question but I just could find any solutions online.

import geopandas
import plotly
import plotly.figure_factory as ff

fips = ['06021', '06023', '06027',
        '06029', '06033', '06059',
        '06047', '06049', '06051',
        '06055', '06061']
values = range(len(fips))

fig = ff.create_choropleth(fips=fips, values=values)
fig.layout.template = None
fig.show()

Install using pip with:

Or, install using conda with

Answer 1

The former answer for this didn't help at all. If you're using jupyter notebook try restarting your kernel. Found the answer here so if this doesn't work feel free scrolling the page. Also, might be worth trying all this in a virtual environment.

Answer 2

As error message says:

The create_choropleth figure factory requires the plotly-geo package. Install using pip with:

pip install plotly-geo

Or, install using conda with

conda install -c plotly plotly-geo

You have to install plotly-geo package. Either way (pip, conda) will work.
