QGIS
Earth engine installation issue.
I was trying to install Google earth plugins in QGIS. I received an error requiring me to install earthengine API before continuing.
After trial and error I found out this:
Earth Engine API by Google is easy to install. The instructions are located here:
https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install
If you follow the directions, you might get stuck with this :
>>> pip install earthengine-api --upgrade
Tracebak blabh ablah b
fiel <lkdfjdkj> line in
Name error syntax ^install.
I didn't know that you have to run the "pip install earthengine-api upgrade under the regular Windows CMD shell.
for instance: run Win+R or find your CMD (command prompt)-you can right-click start icon and select windows powershell from Windows start.
You should see in your prompt a single ">" or actually c:\Users\[yourname]>
Then type:
pip install earthengine-api --upgrade, and hit enter to install the API.
If successful you willneed to authenticate earthengine
type on the prompt >earthengine authenticate
You will see a browser window asking to authenticate your Google account and you will get a generated code. Paste the code on the command line, enter and you have successfully installed the Earthengine API
On the same command prompt type Earthengine --version
