    Did you try to follow those instructions: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL ? – Olia Apr 24 '17 at 12:34

Finally its worked with the command pip install C:\Users\admin\Downloads\GDAL-2.1.3-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl.

I downloaded GDAL-2.1.3-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl. from here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal

    Still doesn't explain why gdal is missing required bits to build. How the heck did the famous "Golkhe" build it? But this is the way to get going, with Gohlke's WHL build – Bob Denny Oct 20 '17 at 16:15

    In my case, with Python version 3.6, this worked as well (of course with a different wheel file). – Reinier Jan 15 '19 at 17:02

    Worked with 3.7 a well. – poetyi Apr 17 '20 at 23:55
  • @Reinier could you specify the wheel file? or where to get it? – norman123123 Jul 20 '20 at 22:40

    @norman123123: Oh, it is from the same URL. It has wheel files for several different Python versions and for Win32 as well as Win64. Just choose the one you need. – Reinier Jul 22 '20 at 06:46
