Question:
I’m having trouble installing GDAL in a virtual environment managed by Poetry (working on an Ubuntu 18.04 distribution).What I already found was:
- this issue on poetry github’s repo; the pull request mentionned at the end seems to be stuck for now;
- one unanswered question on SO related to the gdal version configuration on poetry.
For a “standard” installation, there are examples dealing with local paths using the “export” command.
So far, I haven’t found any working example on how to install GDAL in a poetry project.
Does anybody know how to handle this? (or if this is possible at all?)
Answer:
A workaround is to :- run the shell (and start the virtual environment configured by poetry);
- proceed to install gdal using pip (beeing aware of the versions and needed option as stated here for instance);
- exit the shell;
- proceed to mimic an new install through poetry (
poetry add gdal==X.X.X); - poetry should update the lock and toml files and conclude that no dependencies need to be installed or updated.
As I said this is a workaround (which needs to be referenced for now).
I hope a better solution will emerge and will keep this “solution” unaccepted for a while…
If you have better answer, please add a comment about this, thank you!
