How to Install Folium in VS Code for Jupyter Notebooks on MacOS

If you're working with data visualization in Python, you might want to explore the powerful library called Folium. This library allows you to create beautiful, interactive maps using Leaflet.js. However, many users encounter difficulties when trying to install Folium within Jupyter notebooks in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), especially on MacOS.

In this guide, we'll address the installation issues and provide you with a step-by-step guide to set up Folium correctly in your VS Code Jupyter notebook environment.

Common Installation Issues

When users attempt to install Folium using the command line, they may receive a ModuleNotFoundError, indicating that the Folium package is not recognized in their selected Python environment. This challenge can stem from several reasons, including:

Misconfigured environments in VS Code.

The presence of multiple Python installations on your system.

Not using the correct installation command within Jupyter itself.

Step-by-Step Guide to Install Folium

Follow these steps to ensure Folium is properly installed in your Jupyter notebook running in VS Code.

1. Open Your Jupyter Notebook in VS Code

Make sure you have your VS Code open with the appropriate Jupyter notebook (ipynb) file loaded.

2. Use the Correct Installation Command

The recommended way to install packages from within a Jupyter notebook is to use the percent sign %. This ensures that the package is installed in the correct environment. Execute the following command in a cell within your notebook:

Why %pip install?

The % sign indicates the command is to be executed in the current Jupyter notebook kernel.

This method helps to eliminate environment-related issues, ensuring that you are installing packages specifically in the kernel you are using.

3. Verify the Installation

After running the installation command, you can verify if Folium has been successfully installed by checking the installed packages within your Jupyter notebook. Run the following command in a new cell:

If no error message appears and the version of Folium prints correctly, congratulations! You have successfully installed Folium in your Jupyter notebook.

4. Troubleshooting Installation Issues

If you still encounter issues after following these steps, consider checking:

Python Path: Ensure that VS Code is using the correct Python interpreter. You can change the interpreter from the bottom left corner of VS Code.

Restart Kernel: After installation, restart the kernel for changes to take effect. You can do this from the menu: Kernel Restart Kernel.

Check Python Install: Verify that your Python installation is configured correctly and that pip is installed. You can check this with the command python -m pip --version in your terminal.

Conclusion

Installing Folium in your Jupyter notebooks on MacOS using VS Code can be a straightforward process if you follow the appropriate commands and ensure you're working within the correct environment. By utilizing the %pip install command directly in the Jupyter environment, you can avoid common pitfalls related to environment misconfigurations.

Now you can start creating interactive maps with Folium in your projects smoothly!
