+Building from source
+--------------------
+
+To build from source, there are multiple possible paths.
+
 Dependencies
-------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
- * libgdal (3.9.3 or greater) and header files (gdal-devel)
- * numpy (1.0.0 or greater) and header files (numpy-devel) (not explicitly
-   required, but many examples and utilities will not work without it)
+(As usual, when a package is listed one needs the parts used to build
+programs against it, called -devel on many systems.  This is not
+special about gdal.)
 
-Installation
-------------
+ * SWIG (4 or greater).
 
-Conda
-~~~~~
+ * libgdal (3.10.2 or greater).
 
-GDAL can be quite complex to build and install, particularly on Windows and MacOS.
-Pre built binaries are provided for the conda system:
+ * numpy (1.0.0 or greater).  This is not force-required by the build,
+   but many examples and utilities will not work without it.  At least
+   osgeo.gdal_array requires numpy at build time; building without
+   numpy and installing it later does not result in correct operation.
+   apparently not and in any case it is an unwarranted leap.

+Building when building the rest of GDAL
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Once you have Anaconda or Miniconda installed, you should be able to install GDAL with:
+Python bindings are generated by default when building GDAL from source.
+For more detail, see `Python bindings options <https://gdal.org/development/building_from_source.html#building-python-bindings>`__
 
-``conda install -c conda-forge gdal``
+Building just the bindings, from the full tree
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+Another is to use the gdal source distribution with an
+already-installed gdal library and headers.  To do this, one must
+create a build directory and run cmake to generate build scripts.  Then,
+run ``cmake --build . --target python_generated_files``. Finally, in swig/python,
+one can build using setup.py like any other distributed python module.
+
+Building from the PyPi module file
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The third is to obtain the PyPi-hosted module file, within which swig
+has been run; this saves running cmake and generating bindings.   See
+HOWTO-RELEASE for how this is created.  Because swig has been run, it
+need not be installed.
+
+
+Installation via packging systems
+---------------------------------
+
+General
+~~~~~~~
+
+Many packaging systems (on GNU/Linux, various BSDs) provide the
+bindings as a package.  Specific instruction are given in cases when
+that hint might not be sufficient.
