Create an isolated Python virtual environment with all rgee dependencies.

Source: R/ee_install.R

Create an isolated Python virtual environment with all rgee dependencies. ee_install realize the following six (6) tasks:

  • 1. If you do not count with a Python environment, it will display an interactive menu to install Miniconda (a free minimal installer for conda).

  • 2. Remove the previous Python environment defined in py_env if it exist.

  • 3. Create a new Python environment (See py_env).

  • 4. Set the environmental variable EARTHENGINE_PYTHON. It is used to define RETICULATE_PYTHON when the library is loaded. See this article for further details.

  • 5. Install rgee Python dependencies. Using reticulate::py_install.

  • 6. Interactive menu to confirm if restart the R session to see changes.

ee_install(
  py_env = "rgee",
  earthengine_version = ee_version(),
  confirm = interactive()
)

Arguments

py_env

Character. The name, or full path, of the Python environment to be used by rgee.
earthengine_version

Character. The Earth Engine Python API version to install. By default rgee::ee_version().
confirm

Logical. Confirm before restarting R?.
