Hi @ErikHiCoGIS, thanks for posting the issue. This error is because you have pandas version that is lower than 0.20.1 required. The border argument was added in later versions. Try running pd.version upon import to verify this. Can you import numpy? pandas relies on numpy so it's worth checking as well.
