如何在 Ubuntu 中安装 GDAL？

Question

I've got Ubuntu 17.04 version installed and I want to install GDAL. I have tried several ways to install it, but always I've got an error. I have installed Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 but I want to do the install for Python 2.7

I have tried to do the installation following these steps:

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev export
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal export
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal pip install GDAL

And I've got this error:

How can I install GDAL in Ubuntu?

Answer 1

maybe you'll have more choices if you download the package and read the readme.txt. downloadpage

im not that confident with all those command parameters on my own.

hope it helps^^

Answer 2

Maybe the problem is the Ubuntu version more than Python. I didn't find much information about ubuntu 17, so you should try what is available for the older and more stable versions.

Answer 3

I have Ubuntu 18.04 and this answer seems to help her, too. According to comments it also worked on Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04:

If you don't have any gdal previous version installed

Open your terminal and type

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gdal-bin python-gdal python3-gdal

If you have a previous version installed

Open your terminal and type

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
