Love the narrator's voice!

So, to spare some poor soul the trouble. Picture this: You have Windows and installed Anaconda but when you try the conda install command in the Command Prompt but its not working and says it doesn't recognise the conda command. This is because you need to add Anaconda to PATH and it's an option during the Anaconda instalation but is not selected by default as it can interfere with other software. I just reinstalled Anaconda with that option selected, mostly because after 3 hours I couldn't be bothered to look further into it. Also if when running gdalinfo --version you get a popup error saying gssapi64.dll is missing, you need to run this command: conda install krb5.

I am facing difficulty while installing gdal. The error shows 'Environment Not Writable' Please help me.

[@yunshunzhong4491]

How can I still gdal without conda on mac? Pip install or brew install doesn't work

[@KingKzTuts2000]

is there a way to have gdal working with react project.

[@Pro_Skillz]

I would like to give Gdal a try, so I installed it and then imported it in Python using Spyder ... but it tells me all the functions are 'undefined'. I assume its not installed correctly, but I have been over the installation instructions many times to check and recheck everything - but still no GDAL. Maybe GDAL is good, when it works.

[@aremudavid4372]

Hi there, thanks for an insightful piece i got this error message trying to install GDAL conda install -c conda-forge gdal File "", line 1 conda install -c conda-forge gdal ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax I would appreciate your assistance

[@makingsenseremotely6207]

Hi, looks like perhaps you put that conda command in a python script? Try running it directly from the command prompt/anaconda prompt/terminal instead.

[@samnankadri525]

Hey, Nice Video. Can I install GDAL library for MATLAB

[@ojaswitatoppo5306]

Would there be any issue, if we download the gdal file via golkhe instead of the one mentioned in the sandbox tutorial ? Golkhe has the gdal wheel where as the one mentioned in sandbox tutorial is in the (.msi) format. Would there be any difference if I install the gdal wheel and then make the same environment variables for gdal?

[@surajpatil6766]

Haw to install gedal in Jupiter notebook

[@Winnas]

are the gdal commands the same in python?

[@shemaolo2024]

Could you prepare online Training for us our team has 4 Persons

[@MathCeOuStTA]

Did anyone found a similar tutorial on how to install on Linux and solve some some possible issues?

Nice video, thank you a lot! I have a raster *.tiff file and a shapefile of 30 patches (polygons). I want to clip the raster into 30 reparated rasters based on the shapefile. Could you kindly give me a short scrit?

[@unrealdevop]

I tried this and it kept failing to download it, is there any way I can import the one I downloaded from GitHub into conda and run it that way?

[@makingsenseremotely6207]

Please be more specific. Are you trying to install gdal on Mac/Windows/Ubuntu? Does it fail to install when you are using conda? Any error message? I assume you cloned the main repository for GDAL from GitHub - I have no experience with that, sorry. I would recommend to try and get the conda install to work.

@@makingsenseremotely6207 Windows, If I try to install it through the GUI it just sits there for a long time downloading but never does anything and when I use resource monitor to check to see if network traffic is active in Conda it doesn't show any at all. If I try to run the Conda install gdal command inside of the Anaconda Powershell it gives me this (base) PS C:\Users\depre> conda install gdal Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done If I try to download the GDAL-3.1.3-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl and install it using python I get this message C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install gdal Collecting gdal Using cached GDAL-3.1.3.tar.gz (593 kB) Using legacy 'setup.py install' for gdal, since package 'wheel' is not installed. Installing collected packages: gdal Running setup.py install for gdal ... error ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:...................A lot follows this error. Now I did a tutorial that's supposed to fix this by creating a virtual environment to install it in using pipenv and I did all the steps and still got the error saying the wheel was not installed.....

[@unrealdevop]

Ok wait up the 'conda install gdal' command I reran to get the error message from before may have found a way to install it....I'm getting a bunch of stuff in the prompt that says it found conflicts and that it's examining them.

[@makingsenseremotely6207]

Don't use the GUI, use the conda shell and maybe try to install gdal in a new environment to avoid dependency conflicts: conda create --name myenv conda activate myenv conda install -c conda-forge gdal If you wanna try with the wheel package - don't run "pip install gdal" but "pip install GDAL-3.1.3-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl" instead.

[@unrealdevop]

@@makingsenseremotely6207 Wow your amazing, thanks for the help, the conda environment method worked. I spent about 6-8 hours yesterday trying to figure this out. Are you single? Joking XD Thanks again
