Install gdal using conda?
For windows users (as of December 2015):
conda install gdalconda upgrade numpyInstalling gdal will downgrade numpy, so then upgrade it back up.I recently had occasion to use windows for a change and I was pleasantly surprised that gdal "works" easily now.
Windows+python+gis people worldwide should be celebrating this. (that gdal-python goes in easily on windows...not that windows is one step closer to linux ;) )
I just made the mistake of executing the previously proposed command in the base environment of Conda:
conda install -c conda-forge gdalThis took ages to "solve environment" and, in the end, found numerous conflicts which halted the installation.
Given that, I instead created a separate environment with:
conda create -n gdal python=3.8And activated it with:
conda activate gdalAnd then executed the first command (as well as all others listed in the documentation). This worked fast and without any errors.
you can also use the channel conda-forge
conda install -c conda-forge gdalas suggested on the anaconda website.
