Installing GDAL with Anaconda

Here are steps to install GDAL in Anaconda with python bindings.

1. Download and Install Anaconda (or Miniconda for minimal setup)
   • For Windows a shortcut to anaconda prompt will be created in the start menu which should open command prompt with conda activated.
   • For Linux/Mac you will be asked remove the automatic initialization, if you choose yes, you will need to manually run conda init <shell>.
     • Note: After initialization, conda will automatically activate the base environment by default everytime you open the terminal. If you don't prefer this configuration, run conda config --set auto_activate_base false
2. (Optional. You can skip this step if you want to only use base environment) Create a Conda environment with python.
