So I assume you are on Windows?

It would have been quite useful if you had written that in your initial
question.

I'm not very experienced on that platform, but the installer you used
has most likely installed a library somewhere, I assume in "Program
Files" or whatever it's called on Windows these days.

Try to figure out where the installer put the GDAL library which is
probably a file ending with either ".lib" or ".dll" and set your
GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH to that folder in your settings.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup

-> Do a .whl installation - In the environment!

Download  "GDAL-3.0.4-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl", if using Python 3.7 on Windows 64-bit

Say...
Command(env activated, path to the file): 

python.exe -m pip install "C:\\Users\\Mossad\\Downloads\\GDAL-3.0.4-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl"

 ->  Include 'gdal300'  in env\Lib\site-packages\django\contrib\gis\gdal\libgdal.py file for this GDAL-3.0.4 .whl installation

(There is a list of these .dlls for nt users)

      Set: 

1. GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in settings.py:
      import os
      GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = os.path.join(
    PROJECT_DIR, r"env\\Lib\\site-packages\\osgeo\\gdal300.dll"
)

2.  GDAL_DRIVER_PATH = os.path.join(
    PROJECT_DIR, r"env\\Lib\site-packages\\osgeo\\gdalplugins\\ogr_FileGDB.dll"
)

And, you are good to go.

Praise be to The Almighty God.
