Installation

Best install using standard system package manager, such as apt-get (Ubuntu), yum (Fedora), or macports (OSX).

Download

The current download page is http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/. However, web searches for the code or documentation lead to many dead links to defuncts sites. In particular, almost all links leading inside https://gdal.org/ from internet search engines are dead.

Documentation

How to

Subset a dataset

gdal_translate -projwin_srs '+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs' -projwin -120 39 -119 38 file.tif subset.tif
