restee Installation

This pages walks you through setting up the restee package as well as points users to the documentation for setting up a GCP project for use with the EE REST API.

Before beginning

Before proceeding with the package installation, please see the instructions to setup a service account for access to the REST API. Instructions for setting up your service account can be found here

Once you have a Google Cloud Project and whitelisted service accout for the cloud project, you will need to create a private key so that your system can securely communicate with the Google Cloud. Instructions for creating a private key can be found here

Lastly, test the setup by following the instructions here

Installing the package

restee relies heavily on the geospatial Python ecosystem to manage different geospatial data formats and execute geospatial processes. It is recommended to use conda to handle the package dependencies and create a virtual environment to work with restee. To do this run the following command:

conda create -n restee -c conda-forge -y \
    python>=3.6 \
    numpy \
    scipy \
    pandas \
    xarray \
    rasterio \
    geopandas \
    pyproj \
    requests \
    backoff \
    earthengine-api \
    tqdm

Once all of the dependencies are installed, the restee package can be installed using pip:

pip install restee
