You need to be more specific, What is the error message you get when you try to install it?

#maybe its dependencies problems

You are missing the gdal system library, for Unix-alikes, GDAL (>= 2.0.1), GEOS (>= 3.4.0) and Proj.4 (>= 4.8.0) are required.

Since Linux Mint is Ubuntu based, this might work

sudo apt install libudunits2-dev libgdal-dev libgeos-dev libproj-dev
