Install latest gdal in debian

#debian #gdal #gis

Hi , I am writting short steps about how to install latest gdal version in your debian stable.

By the time I am writting this post the default version of gdal available in the stable debian bookworm is 3.6.5 but I want the latest one . Usually gdal will publish the latest release in the unstable source first. if you wanna get your hand on it either you need to install it from the source or you can install it from the unstable source. I will list how to install from unstable source only for the gdal

1) First update sour package list 

 sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Add following line 

 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2) Update package list 

 sudo apt update
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3) Now install gdal-bin using unstable source

 sudo apt install -t unstable gdal-bin
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4) Check your gdal version 

 ogrinfo --version
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
