I\'ve done a software on ubuntu, and I\'m having several problems to run this software on Windows.

My biggest issue point now is that I\'m trying to install \"fiona\

Answer 1

Finally after 6 hours of trying like crazy for installing Fiona. I will try to make it as simple as possible. Most of the guide are taken from here How to install GDAL

Download the required gdal file here:

1) https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal

2) Then you can install the wheel file:

python.exe -m pip install GDAL-2.2.4-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

3) Add Environment Variable with the name GDAL_DATA and value =

C:\Users\yourUserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Lib\site-packages\osgeo\data\gdal

4) In most cases we require Visual C++ build tools. Install only the build tools and launch or download c++ visual studio from official link, Link to shortcut download from here:

Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools

5) Now install suitable fiona wheel from here here

and run: pip install C:/path/to/Fiona‑1.8.4‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl

6) run pip install fiona
