[GIS] How to install GDAL with Python on Windows 10

gdalpythonwindows 10

I am trying to install the GDAL library with Python on Windows 10. The Python version is MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64). The setup files (core and GDAL binaries) are from Tamas Szekeres’ Windows binaries based on the Python version. Path Variables were set up but after testing (gdalinfo –version), the terminal did not show it was installed successfully.
Checking the C:\Program Files list, the GDAL files did not show up.

I am wondering how I can install GDAL with Python on Windows 10 successfully?

I'd recommend installing GDAL using OSGeo4W, which will set up an environment where all these tools will work nicely together.

You may have some luck using the new package management tool for Windows, Chocolately, but I haven't tried it yet for GDAL (it worked really well to install NPM and other tools for me, though, and seems to be the sensible option these days).
