I am running on Windows 10 and have successfully installed the gdal 64 bit library from this resource: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/
My django app is running with pipenv
I also added in my settings.py the variable : GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = 'C:\OSGeo4W64\bin' and also add this variable also to the path variable ins system variables.
After every run of the development server i got the error :
Exception in thread django-main-thread:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not find the GDAL library (tried "gdal204", "gdal203", "gdal202", "gdal201", "gdal20"). Is GDAL installed? If it is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.
How can i solve this issue?
Looks like you need to go a bit further with the GDAL path. Try
GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = r'C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\gdal300'
You may have to change the gdal300 part to whatever version of gdal you have. Also check to make sure that you are running 64bit Python. Otherwise you may have gotten the wrong osgeo4w version
