<div>Hi,</div>
<div>You need to have the gdal binaries installed before pip install gdal will work. Specifically, pip install gdal installs the python bindings for gdal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In my opinion on mac, the easiest way is to install gdal via homebrew. Then the configuration utility gdal-info should be on the path and pip install GDAL should work</div>
<div><a href="https://pypi.org/project/GDAL/" target="_blank">https://pypi.org/project/GDAL/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Going the homebrew route for gdal will ensure you have everything needed for gdal to work and avoids the complication of having to compile gdal yourself.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I use gdal from base homebrew and then use this repackaging of the python gdal bindings. I've found it to be more reliable with venvs.<br>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Both methods should work though,</div>
<div><br>

<div>Cheers</div>
