cws-ee-asset-uploader v0.0.3

cws-ee-asset-uploader

Helper library for uploading assets to Earth Engine. Wraps gsutil and earthengine command line utilities.

Requirements

Unfortunately there is a bit of setup to run this tool. Here are the requirements:

• NodeJS
• Earth Engine Command Line Tool
  • Command line tool is provided with the Python library
• gsutil

Install

npm install -g cws-ee-asset-uploader

Setup

In order to upload files you will need to authenticate with both earthengine and gsutil command line tools. It is recommended you login with the same account to both.

Earth Engine Command Line Tool - Authentication

# this will open your browser, have you login then paste a code into the terminal
earthengine authenticate

gsutil - Authentication

# this will open your browser, have you login then paste a code into the terminal
gcloud init

You only need to authenticate once, not every time you use the cws-ee-asset-uploader. Unless you want to switch accounts.

Finally, create a stagging bucket:

gsutil mb -c coldline gs://cws-my-test-bucket
