Install GDAL for Python with Anaconda

GDAL is a fundamental package for geospatial analysis with Python, but it is not trivial to install. With a couple of nuances, Anaconda makes it easy to install and use GDAL. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of installing GDAL for the Anaconda Python distribution.

Hi, I already installed gdal and it worked in anaconda prompt, but still get "No module named 'osgeo' " in spyder. Do you know how to solve it? Thanks!

Something nobody tells you is that when you install gdal in the environment it comes with python 3.10, which is counterproductive if you use tensoflow because it can only run with py3.6 - 3.9. On the other hand if you first install tf and then gdal it won't install properly and it won't find the '_gdal' module

I've tried to get GDAL running on my conda environment with python version 3.8 (on WIndows 10) but it gives an error saying that for python versions >=3.8 a variable in PATH should be set to 'YES'. Doing so will not make the package work, it will just give another error.
What worked for me was to downgrade gdal package to version 3.0.2 on anaconda.
This took me a very long time to find out but hopefully it helps someone
