If I try install fiona, I get the following:

sudo pip3 install fiona

Solution 1:[1]

This problem occured for me when trying to install geopandas on a M1 Mac (using the command pip3 install geopandas)

Using homebrew package manager, install the gdal package:

brew install gdal

Then try again installing the failed pip install:

pip3 install geopandas
