			%gdal_translate% <conversion_commands>
			</pre>
			However if you receive errors similar to "<tt>PROJ: proj_create_from_database: Cannot find proj.db</tt>" you should add this environment variable to the top of the batch file ('''Note:''' do not use quotes "" in path):<Br>
			<pre>
			set PROJ_LIB=C:\GDAL\proj7\share
			set gdal_translate="C:\GDAL\bin\gdal_translate.exe"
			%gdal_translate% <conversion_commands>

			===Installation===
			There is no formal installation process required. The below steps are recommended as it will make running the programs a lot easier without needing to setup custom environment variables:
			<ol>
			<li> Unzip the downloaded file into a location of your choice. For the examples below, it will be assumed that they were unzipped to "<tt>C:\GDAL</tt>".
			<li> Navigate to the following directory in the unzipped directory "<tt>bin\gdal\apps<\tt>". Following our chosen directory from step 1 this is "<tt>C:\GDAL\bin\apps</tt>".
			<li> Copy all the files in the "app" directory into the "bin" directory ("<tt>C:\GDAL\bin</tt>")
			<li> Create a new folder called "share" underneath the main directory, above the "bin" folder ("<tt>C:\GDAL\share</tt>")
			<li> Create a new folder called "proj" underneath the new "share" folder ("<tt>C:\GDAL\share\proj</tt>")
			<li> Copy all the files from the "<tt>bin\proj7\share</tt>" into the newly created "share folder

This page describes how to download and install the GDAL programs manually. 

===Download===
The pre-compiled GDAL programs and other binaries can be downloaded from the following location: 
'''[https://www.gisinternals.com/release.php https://www.gisinternals.com/release.php]''' 
 
[[File: gdal_installation_first_download_page.PNG]] 
The page lists many download links:
* Users should choose x64 Arch (architecture) if they are using a x64 bit operating system
* The "MSVC" column is the compiler version. It generally doesn't matter except if you are trying to replicate a previously run GDAL Program results exactly, then you should use the compiler and GDAL version used to produce those results. For format conversion, generally the compiler won't have any affect.
