Development Source

The main repository for GDAL is located on github at https://github.com/OSGeo/GDAL.

You can obtain a copy of the active source code by issuing the following command

git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/GDAL.git

Build requirements

To build GDAL 3 or later, you need at a minimum a C++11 compatible compiler, and PROJ 6 or later. This will only give you a minimum build which will lack a lot of drivers. Consult Raster drivers and Vector drivers pages for additional optional dependencies.

Build instructions

See https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints for hints for existing autoconf and nmake build systems.

From GDAL 3.5, an experimental CMake-based build is available.

Binaries

In this section we list a number of the binary distributions of GDAL all of which should have fully reproducible open source build recipes.

Windows builds are available via Conda Forge (64-bit only). See the Conda section for more detailed information.

Debian

Debian packages are now available on Debian Unstable.

Conda

Conda can be used on multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux) to install software packages and manage environments. Conda packages for GDAL are available at https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/gdal.
