GDAL in ArcGIS 10.4

MichL

I am using Desktop version 10.4 and need to create a script (I want to use modelbuilder, if possible) using both GDAL and ArcPy.  I see some indication online that it is possible to use GDAL in ArcGIS, but I cannot locate where to download the proper files from.  I have a standalone version of GDAL (version 2.1.3) already on my computer, but don't know if this is enough for it to work in ArcGIS (I'd assume not) or if I need some kind of add-in or something.  Perhaps 10.4 already has GDAL integrated in it??  That would be ideal, but I would guess it doesn't.

I'm looking for something that is already built, I'm not saavy enough to build it myself.

what is it you need in gdal?  There are bits and pieces of it installed in all sorts of software (ie some dlls csv files etc).  Also, there are lots of links claiming to be the 'true' method of installing it, but whatever has to be installedhas to enable you to use the same python path used by arcmap. 

( well the usual path in any event....  C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5....)

PRO's conda management may permit a better environment.
