Here are the Windows install instructions: https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona#windows. You won't be able to run pip install fiona on Windows without having the GDAL library installed. I recommend using Gohlke's wheels or getting Fiona with Anaconda and conda-forge.

@FarFromBoston Directly installing Fiona from sources on Windows requires advanced knowledge. As @sgillies advised, it is strongly recommended! to use prebuilt packages such as https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

If you insist on doing it yourself, you can look at the windows CI config file: https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona/blob/master/appveyor.yml

yeh i installed fiona and gdal through "https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal: successfully in my directory but Fiona still doesnt run.

"
----> 9 from fiona.ogrext import Iterator, ItemsIterator, KeysIterator
10 from fiona.ogrext import Session, WritingSession
11 from fiona.ogrext import (

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
"

gdal runs just fine when i import it...

Oh wait maybe because FIONA needs 3.4 and im using 3.6... Maybe thats it.

"
http://toblerity.org/fiona/README.html#installation
Fiona requires Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4 and GDAL/OGR 1.8+
"

hmm after installing python34 I cant for some reason install the 34 wheel...

"
c:\Jupyter_Projects\Mastering_Geospatial_Analysis_BOOK>py -3.4 -m pip install Fiona-1.7.13-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl
Fiona-1.7.13-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\lewispippip.log

Thats not right.

Fiona should run fine with Python versions greater 3.4. The Anaconda3 directory indicates that you use Anaconda. Do not mix Gohlke's and Anaconda binary files.

OH! Its looking for FIONA in my Anaconda file directory right....Ok well thats where i need to install the whl files then...
Ok fiona installed correctly and i can import it now.

but now i cant import GEOPANDAS... UGHHHHHHH XD

"
No module named 'fiona.crs'

I don't use Windows or Anaconda, therefore I can be wrong. But if you are using the anaconda python distribution, stick to the binaries provided / made for anaconda., as packages from other sources, e.g. Gohlke, might not be compatible.

Uninstall all packages you installed from Gohlke and use anaconda packages.
