I'm trying to install gdal library with pip install gdal

I'm using:

• python 3.9.9
• Windows 10

But i'm having this error :

Does somebody have an idea about what should I try ?

CodePudding user response：

The only GDAL I made work on Windows 10 was from the Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages by Christoph Gohlke Here

Just for curiosity the GeoPandas project also recommend that unofficial repository for Windows.

CodePudding user response：

Thanks @iambr, it works perfectly !

After downloading the right Extension Packages by Christoph Gohlke Here

I installed the package with pip

py -3.9 -m pip install D:\Downloads\GDAL-3.4.1-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

or (depending the python version)

py -3.10 -m pip install D:\Downloads\GDAL-3.4.1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl
