[GIS] Opening Landsat-8 GEOTIFF in Python

anacondagdalgeotiff-tifflandsat 8python

I've run into an error when trying to open a Landsat-8 geotiff file in python, it seems like I am missing some tiff libraries but I'm not sure how to install them or where they need to go. Has anyone else encountered this issue when working with geotiff files?

I'm using the Anaconda 3.6 distribution of python on a windows 10 64 bit computer.

Python code:

from osgeo import gdal
path = "LC80040472015120LGN00_B4.TIF"
geotiff = gdal.Open(path)

Error Message:

Warning 1: LC80040472015120LGN00_B4.TIF:AdobeDeflate compression
support is not configured

ERROR 1: Cannot open TIFF file due to
missing codec.

Edit1:

Here is the index page on AWS for the image that I'm trying to open.

Finally fixed the problem by updating:

gdal 2.1.3 -> 2.2.0

libtiff 4.0.6vc14_3 -> libtiff 4.0.6vc14_7

Somehow this added the compression support.
