Earth engine Authentication Credential Configuration PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied windows

  • 772

I am installing the Earth Engine Python API, when setting the authentication credentials with the command:

python -c "import ee; ee.Initialize ()"

I get the error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\arles/.config/earthengine/credentials'

enter image description here

  • In addition to that, it only remains to say that I am working with win 10 and that the cmd has administrator permissions. Thanks in advance.

    Here is a video where the earth engine package is configured correctly and you don't have this problem: https://youtu.be/Zr_cItq9wJU

    The error arose mainly from the generation of credentials and this happened because I should have previously executed the command:

    pip3 install --upgrade oauth2client

    Which is necessary for authentication, after that make sure that in the route:

    C:\\users\\{nombre de usuario}\\.config\\

    In said path, the folder created earthengine does not exist, hence the error PermissionError: [Errno 13], after that execute the command:

    earthengine authenticate

    This command will allow you to obtain an authentication code that must be pasted into the terminal.

    Finally execute the command that generated the error and everything will be successful:

    python -c "import ee; ee.Initialize()"
