I would like to install the last version of GDAL on my user space of a sever (ubuntu framework). I do not have permissions to use 'sudo' command because I have not 'root' permissions.

What do you suggest to do?

  • Are all tools present to build it from source?

  • I'm not sure. You should install also osgeo, I guess.. Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 9:58

  • Yes, I did it. But then if i try to check if it is installed, I have this message: Commented Oct 16, 2016 at 11:16
  • The program 'gdalinfo' is currently not installed. To run 'gdalinfo' please ask your administrator to install the package 'gdal-bin'. And I tried to install 'gdal-bin' by using: 'apt-get install gdal-bin'...but I don't have permissions Commented Oct 16, 2016 at 11:17
  • don't forget to add path to the gdal binaries.

  • Changing the environmental variable should be enough? I unzipped gdal-2.1.0.tar.gz in my user folder in the server. How do I find the gdal-binaries Commented Oct 16, 2016 at 11:31
