keep STAC related packages up to date

Hi, not sure what all is needed to keep STAC related packages up to date, but following the installation recipe I am left with pystac-client 0.3.0. That packages is on version 0.7.5 right currently, but trying to install an updated version via mamba results in a whole mess of incompatibilities. using a conda install pystac-client=0.7.5 results in a very long solve, and geospatial being downgraded:

geospatial 0.8.0-pyhd8ed1ab_1 --> 0.2.2-pyhd8ed1ab_0

The recommended way is to use mamba rather than conda. The version restriction is likely caused by other dependencies. I need to look into it

I just tried it on my Linux machine and found that it could install pystac-client v0.7.5. Please make sure you use mamba rather than conda. Conda takes forever to reslove a large mount of dependencies. Mamba is much faster.

conda create -n geo python=3.11
conda activate geo
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba install -c conda-forge geospatial

yes, this looks good! thank you for the quick replies. I had to go conda earlier to keep with the python 3.9 instructions. I tried the same on my windows 10 machine:

conda create -n geo python=3.11
conda activate geo
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba install geopandas
mamba install -c conda-forge geospatial

very fast.

conda list | grep stac gives 👍

pystac                    1.9.0              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge
pystac-client             0.7.5              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge
stack_data                0.6.2              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge

thank you!!
