I have a Django project which uses d the django.contrib.gis.db module.
After installing all dependencies with pip,I got the following error
python ./manage.py check
Traceback (most recent call last):

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not find the GDAL library (tried "gdal", "GDAL", "gdal2.3.0", "gdal2.2.0", "gdal2.1.0", "gdal2.0.0", "gdal1.11.0"). Is GDAL installed? If it is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.
I’ve tried pipenv,poetry,installing gdal with nix,pypi2nix and with pip --user and pygdal( pinned to the 2.4.0 version)
