No module named '_gdal'

The error message "No module named '_gdal'" indicates that the GDAL library is not installed or not properly configured in your Python environment. GDAL is a popular open-source geospatial library used for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats.

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have GDAL installed on your system. You can download it from the official GDAL website (https://gdal.org) or install it using a package manager like pip.

2. If you're using pip, you can install GDAL by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

   pip install gdal

Note that GDAL requires some dependencies, such as numpy and geos, which may need to be installed separately.

3. After installing GDAL, make sure you're using the correct Python environment where GDAL is installed. You can check the installed packages in your environment by running the following command:

   pip list

Verify that GDAL is listed among the installed packages.

4. If GDAL is installed but still not recognized, it's possible that your Python environment is not properly configured. In such cases, you may need to set the correct paths for GDAL in your system's environment variables.

For example, on Windows, you can add the GDAL bin directory (e.g., C:\path\to\gdal\bin) to the "Path" variable. On Linux or macOS, you can modify the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable to include the GDAL library path.

These steps should help resolve the "No module named '_gdal'" error. If you encounter any further issues, please provide more details about your system environment and how you installed GDAL.
