Problem description

I was successfully able to install proj using brew but can’t seem to get this to work

Installation method

• pip

Conda environment information (if you installed with conda):

Environment (conda list):

$ conda list proj

Details about conda and system ( conda info ):

$ [e-mail]

[jannismain]

After reading the documentation about installing from source, the following worked for me:

pip uninstall -y pyproj
brew install proj
pip install pyproj --no-binary pyproj

[snowman2]

pyproj==3.3.1 was just released and wheels shouldn’t be downloaded for Mac M1 anymore.

This should work:

brew install proj
python -m pip install pyproj

If it doesn’t please let us know.
