Here will be my sequence of command lines while trying to install gdal2.1 in a UBUNTU virtual machine. My virtual machine is a UBUNTU 16.04 LTS(64bit) I would need gdal2.1 and especially the Python bindings to work with it in python. The versionof python currently working is 2.7.11+ and I installed numpy as I know that it is necessary for GDAL. now the command lines with the instruction I found in the Pypi page of GDAL2.1:

antonio19812@antonio19812-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1i

Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto

libgdal1i is already the newest version (1.11.3+dfsg-3build2).

0 aggiornati, 0 installati, 0 da rimuovere e 62 non aggiornati.

antonio19812@antonio19812-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev

This was what I obtained. Consider that the VM has not other software or packages installed. I hope you can help me, using GDAL2.1 would be so important..

    Ah yes, the Python 2.8 un-release (PEP 404).

  • ok now I will provide the sequence of command line in my virtual machine. I prefer to work with a VM because I want to work in linux while my OS is Windows8.1 and I do not want to modify nothing on it.

You can download GDAL 2.1 for Windows from GIS Internals. There is an installer and a portable version that doesn't require installation.

GDAL 2.1 is available for Ubuntu 16.04 from the UbuntuGIS-Unstable PPA

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade # if you already have gdal 1.11 installed 
sudo apt install gdal-bin python-gdal python3-gdal # if you don't have gdal 1.11 already installed

    Just to clarify: You have GDAL 1.11.3 installed, and the repository you want to install from does not provide a newer package. So you have to add another resource, that has a GDAL 2.1 package. Like the Ubuntugis-unstable PPA.

  • yes I have libgdal-dev 1.11.3 and libgdal 11.3 , that could be the reason?

  • @Antonio Don't use pip. Just add the ubuntugis-unstable PPA and upgrade. Also make sure you have python-gdal installed for python 2.7 support or python3-gdal for python 3.4 support

  • Great solution. I can import gdal using python 2 using this approach, but not python 3. Any suggestions on installing gdal with the python3 bindings?

    Check that the osgeo package gets installed to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages when you apt-get install python3-gdal and check that /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages is in your python path (and that you installed gdal-bin;) I don't have access to 16.04 anymore (unless I build a vm/docker) so can't test. But I've pretty much stopped using system package managers and just maintain identical conda envs that "just work" (tm) on my Windows and various Linux environments.
