I have Python 3.6.1 32 bit, OS windows 10 x64,

Tried install

pip install OSMnx

get error

Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\liuzi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\pip\compat__init__.py", line 73, in console_to_str return s.decode(sys.stdout.encoding) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd5 in position 24: invalid continuation byte

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The OSMnx installation instructions suggest using conda-forge to install. This is particularly important on Windows, as you want to avoid compiling all the C extensions required by the geospatial dependencies.

conda install -c conda-forge osmnx

Or if all else fails, do the install in a nice clean virtual environment:

conda create --yes -c conda-forge -n OSMNX python=3 osmnx
source activate OSMNX

That should solve any Windows-related install problems (and works for Mac and Linux too).
