Added further clarification.
Feb 11, 2018 at 15:00 comment added yenats Ok, I understand. However, I can either navegate to the folder with the gdal - utilities or to the folder with the raster image. Seems to me like the gdal-commands are only usable when I navegate to the gdal-utilities-folder - but then, the image is not found I suppose. I am sorry for those noobish questions, it's just that all of this is so new and confusing.
Feb 11, 2018 at 12:32 comment added Roberto Ribeiro No. These are command-line utilities, meaning you have yo use them through CMD (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/Mac). When you open them, they'll be at your user home folder, but you need yo go to the folder in which your rasters are. You can just google "how to navigate through cmd" or "how to navigate through terminal" to see how to do it.
Feb 11, 2018 at 12:26 comment added yenats what do you mean "navegate to a folder you have a raster"? Just open the folder? > gdalinfodoesn't work, but when I type C:\Program Files\QGIS 2.18\bin\gdalinfo, it seems to be "working". However, it (naturally) yields an error: FAILURE: No datasource specified.. I seem not to be able to specifiy the data source. Further explication on this would be appreciated.
