pip install georasters fails on GDAL

[kkava]

It seems like GDAL has changed and this package needs to be updated to account for that. A bit of digital decay has occurred. Or maybe someone can suggest a workaround for me? Thanks!

To recreate: Windows 10 powershell / pip install georaster

On further inspection it seems like I have to first install GDAL which cannot be done through pip. If that is the case this issue can just be closed, because I haven't done that (and don't really want to - I like my code to remain as distributable and accessible as possible). Thanks again, Kava

Indeed you need GDAL, but I think that is inescapable if you are doing GIS. So that should not be a major limitation in general. Luckily, conda makes it easy to share your code and your setup to ensure it works.

Hi Ömer,

thanks for the reply. I ended up finding the data I needed in a text file, so I didn't have to try to deal with the inner workings of the geotiff file. I'm working with the data from SEDAC, containing population distributions, to model the spread of covid-19. It's pretty interesting.
