Hi! I'm trying to access GDAL in Python and tried "sudo pip install GDAL". But an error comes out. I've downloaded also the packege from the GDAL website but still doesn't work. Could you please help me out? Many thanks! Roxana PS: Here is the output from the Terminal: [rtesileanu@localhost ~]$ gdalinfo --version GDAL 1.11.4, released 2016/01/25 [rtesileanu@localhost ~]$ sudo pip install GDAL=1.11.4 [sudo] password for rtesileanu: Invalid requirement: 'GDAL=1.11.4' = is not a valid operator.
