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
Documentation
- Some apparently out of date documentation is at https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki
- The documentation for version 2.4.0 was installed as described above at here.
