Issue on installing GDAL on pycharm windows10

Question

I have error when I install GDAL in my pycharm on windows10. I am using Python3.8. And try to install DjangoGeo by follow this guide. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/contrib/gis/tutorial/

Appreciate for any one who can solve my prob, I am very new to Python. I just started to learn it for my final year project.

Answer 1

You cannot install GDAL through pip on Windows

As guide to install GeoDjango suggests you should install it through OSGeo4W

The OSGeo4W installer helps to install the PROJ.4, GDAL, and GEOS libraries required by GeoDjango
