Installation

Best install using standard system package manager, such as apt-get, yum, or macports.

Download and documentation

Downloading GDAL is very confusing. Web searches lead to dead links or irrelevant redirects. Documentation is nowhere to be found. The sofware install without man pages. Typing gdal utilities with -help does produces nothing useful. This following works right now:

  • Download the appropriate version of sources from http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/ as tar.gz file
  • expand the file
  • install doxygen if needed, and type doxygen in the top directory of the source
  • open file html/index.html
