GeoPandas module fails to install from ArcGIS Pro 2.4.3 Python Package Manager

Description

In ArcGIS Pro version 2.6, Geopandas fails to install into an ArcGIS Pro Python environment.

Cause

This is a known issue that will be resolved in a future release of ArcGIS Pro.

Workaround

Use the following steps to work around the issue:

1. In ArcGIS Pro, click the Project tab, and then Python to open the Python Package Manager.
2. Under Project Environment, check that the active environment is not the default environment, arcgispro-py3. If it is, clone the environment before continuing. Learn more about the Python Package Manager.
3. Once you have confirmed that you are using a cloned Python environment, close ArcGIS Pro and open the command prompt from Windows Start > ArcGIS > Python Command Prompt, then run the following command:

conda install geopandas libtiff=4.0.10

Importing geopandas should be available from a Python interpreter in your ArcGIS Pro environment.
