Installation

Attention

geeViz uses Google Earth Engine (GEE) for much of its functionality. It requires an active Earth Engine account and associated Google Cloud Platform project ID. If you have not signed up for GEE, please sign up here.

Installing geeViz

geeViz will try to automatically install the earthengine-api package, but sometimes this fails for various reasons. In this instance refer to this to troubleshoot.

You can also manually install the package:

$ pip install earthengine-api

Then, install geeViz using pip:

$ pip install geeViz

While geeViz will try to authenticate and initialize GEE, it does fail to figure out the multitude of builds and authentication methods. This process changes frequently. Following the directions here can be the best approach.

While many examples in geeViz do not initialize to a project in the example’s code, we recommend you follow the best practice of initializing GEE to a project prior to importing any geeViz modules:

import ee
ee.Initialize(project='someProject')
import geeViz.geeView as gv
Map = gv.Map
Map.addLayer(someEEImage,{},'Some Image')
Map.view()
