Python GDAL: pip install --no-install GDAL fails

Question

I am trying to install GDAL in virtual environment based on the various solutions out there.

However the download itself already fails:

$ pip install         


        

Answer 1

after install gdal using these steps on host:

sudo apt-get install gdal-bin
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

After that use

pip install GDAL==$(gdal-config --version) --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/gdal"

This should work like charm
