Fail to upgrade rgdal

Question

I tried to install sf in R with install.packages("sf"), but encountered this issue.

> install.packages("sf")
...
checking GDAL version >= 2.0.0... no
configure: error: sf is not compatible with GDAL versions below 2.0.0
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘sf’
...

I got the version of rgdal with library(rgdal), 1.2-13. I tried to use > update.packages("rgdal") to upgrade rgdal. However, the problem still exists.

How can I upgrade rgdal to the newest version?

The problem isn't the rgdal package, it's gdal itself - look at the error message. The [project page](https://github.com/r-spatial/sf) has instructions for installing/upgrading GDAL on your system. — Brendan A., Oct 16 '17 at 13:15
Looks like [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44973639/trouble-installing-sf-due-to-gdal) may be the same problem with a solution. — Brendan A., Oct 16 '17 at 19:33

the problem is not related with rgdal package. You need to install gdal in your computer.
