The procedure for setting up python environment to allow converting the gedi data from .h5 for format to geojson or shapefile is not working. I need to work with gedi level 2B v002 but I am stuck at the first step of setting up the python environment using the command prompt in windows, once I copy-paste this line 'conda create -n gedi -c conda-forge --yes python=3.7 h5py shapely geopandas pandas', the process keeps loading and loading, please see the screenshot 1. When I tried setting up the environment on a different machine, loading took at least hours 2 and it produced the error as in screen 2.
Lastly, I would like to know whether it is needed to subset the layers on earthdata search before downloading.

Re: Converting GEDI data from hdf5 format to geojson or shp
@ckhamila,
Please find below the science support response to your question.
The most recent "geopandas" release requires Python versions after 3.8 (Python >=3.8). The user can update the Python version to 3.8 or 3.9 in the command line.
conda create -n gedi -c conda-forge --yes python=3.9 h5py shapely geopandas pandas
Note: Please download/clone the most updated script.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
