-Shapely and a few other libraries are notoriously difficult to install on windows machines so follow the steps mentioned here **before installing porder**. You can download and install shapely and other libraries from the [Unofficial Wheel files from here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs) download depending on the python version you have. **Do this only once you have install GDAL**. I would recommend the steps mentioned above to get the GDAL properly installed. However I am including instructions to using a precompiled version of GDAL similar to the other libraries on windows. You can test to see if you have gdal by simply running
-
-`gdalinfo`
-
-in your command prompt. If you get a read out and not an error message you are good to go. If you don't have gdal try Option 1,2 or 3 in that order and that will install gdal along with the other libraries
-
-#### Option 1:
-
-Starting from geeup v0.3.4 onwards:
-
-Simply run `geeup -h` after installation. This should go fetch the extra libraries you need and install them. Once installation is complete, the porder help page will show up. This should save you from the few steps below.
-
-#### Option 2:
-
-If this does not work or you get an unexpected error try the following commands. You can also use these commands if you simply want to update these libraries.
-
-```
-pipwin refresh
-pipwin install gdal
