I am attempting to install pyproj, although am getting a Proj executable not found. Please set PROJ_DIR variable error.

COMMAND

$ pipenv install pyproj

I have also tried pipenv git+https://github.com/jswhit/pyproj.git#egg=pyproj for the same result.

OUTPUT

$ pipenv install pyproj Installation Succeeded Locking [dev-packages] dependencies Locking ['packages] dependancies Success! Installing dependencies from Pipfile.lock

pip install pyproj==1.9.6

Same issues, used above. Installs the latest version previous to March 8th, 2019, if that suits your needs.
