| Download and Install regular python for windows (if not yet). Must be same python version gdal was compiled against. "Install for all users" and "Add Python to environment variables" suggested | |
| All commands in command line (cmd.exe) with administrator rights. If unsure, set the paths manually. Adjust accordingly your case | |
| 4. Insert "C:\OSGeo4W\bin" to PATH System Variable (Environment Variables) | |
| 5. Restart cmd.exe session | |
| 6. Check gdal is installed | |
| gdalinfo --version | |

| setx /m GDAL_DRIVER_PATH "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\gdal\lib\gdalplugins" | |
| setx /m GDAL_DATA "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\gdal\share\gdal" | |
| setx /m PROJ_LIB "C:\OSGeo4W\share\proj" | |
| 9. Set symlink for python bindings e.g. | |
| mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Python39\Lib\site-packages\osgeo" "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python39\Lib\site-packages\osgeo" | |
| If you want gdal bindings working inside virtual environments just repeat the mlink command above pointing to venv directory (e.g. ...venv\Lib\site-packages\osgeo) |
