Unable to install Google-Earth-Engine-Api in Linux subsystem for Windows

Ok, I've installed Linux subsystem in my Windows 10 and now following this tutorial to install google earth engine inside my Linux subsystem.

When I try to run following command to install GEE API, I get following error (I am getting the same error for "sudo pip install 'pyOpenSSL>=0.11'" command as well.): 

sudo pip install earthengine-api

enter image description here

> Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools,
> tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-PrUuzi/cryptography/setup.py';f=get
> attr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n',
> '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec' ))" install
> --record /tmp/pip-3eTIvM-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed wit h error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-PrUuzi/cryptography/

Then after failing this, I tried to manually download and install the GEE setup. I copied the downloaded compressed package to folder: "C:\Users\Saurabh\AppData\Local\lxss\home\saurabh"

and then tried to do the ls -a to see if I can see the file or not. But it is not visible: enter image description here enter image description here

What I am doing wrong here?

Solution

  • As mentioned in this thread, I updated setuptools and pip to the latest versions and I am finally able to run the earthengine-api without any issue.
