The amazing work of Christoph Gohlke is the source of all this, though the unofficial windows binaries page at lfd is no longer maintained. Christoph has created a dedicated GitHub repository with a subset of geospatial wheel assets that have been released. This tool is a straightforward CLI that can pre-install a binary wheel from the latest release assets.
Installation is pretty simple use. The tool automatically also checks as new versions are released and informs you.
The precompiled wheels and as such the tool is only available for python 3.8 and higher
