Google Earth Engine

The earthengine tool is a utility program that allows you to manage Earth Engine assets and tasks from the command line. It is installed automatically when you install the Python API. To check whether the tool is installed and functioning correctly, type the following on a command line:

$ earthengine

If the tool is properly installed then it will print out a short summary of available commands. To get help on a specific command, use:

$ earthengine command -h

When you first install the Python API you will need to log in using the authenticate command described below.
