CRITICAL:root:A GDAL API version must be specified.

When I try to install label_maker, with the following commanbd: pip install --user label_maker and it stop with the following error:

INFO:root:Building on Windows requires extra options to setup.py to locate needed GDAL files. More information is available in the README.
CRITICAL:root:A GDAL API version must be specified. Provide a path to gdal-config using a GDAL_CONFIG environment variable or use a GDAL_VERSION environment variable.

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\o0331\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-foil9_5w\rasterio\

I have my GDAL installed in "C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages\GDAL-2.2.4.dist-info" Not sure how to specify the path. Tried pip install --user label_maker GDAL_CONFIG="C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages\GDAL-2.2.4.dist-info" but it showed me

Invalid requirement: 'GDAL_CONFIG=C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages\GDAL-2.2.4.dist-info'
It looks like a path. File 'GDAL_CONFIG=C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages\GDAL-2.2.4.dist-info' does not exist.

My OS is Windows 10 version 1803 and use native Python 3.6.6 installation (without conda).

Any solution?

There might be more help in the rasterio repo for this type of error. Rasterio isn't finding the gdal install/config and can't finish the setup
