Cartopy install fails on Ubuntu

[shivajid]

The cartopy install fails with the following error.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for cartopy
Failed to build cartopy
ERROR: Could not build wheels for cartopy, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

The fix is to install the dependency.

sudo apt -y install libgeos-dev

Logging to have it part of the documentation.

Additionally, the mayavi install would also fail on Ubuntu 20.04. Here's the link that fixed my issue.
