Datacube ODC environment setup

Question

Problem with ODC environment

I am trying to setup datacube following this tutorial: https://docs.dea.ga.gov.au/notebooks/DEA_datasets/DEA_Water_Observations.html#Loading-data

The first section of code appears to work OK:

from datacube.utils import masking
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, '../Tools/')
from dea_tools.datahandling import wofs_fuser
from dea_tools.plotting import plot_wo

The next line throws an error:

dc = datacube.Datacube(app='DEA_Water_Observations')

Traceback (most recent call last):

Cell In[43], line 1 dc = datacube.Datacube(app='DEA_Water_Observations')

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\datacube\api\core.py:87 in init index = index_connect(normalise_config(config),

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\datacube\api\core.py:81 in normalise_config return LocalConfig.find(env=env)

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\datacube\config.py:133 in find return LocalConfig(

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\datacube\config.py:106 in init raise ValueError('No ODC environment, checked configurations for %s' % fallbacks)

ValueError: No ODC environment, checked configurations for ['default', 'datacube']

This help page below suggests that there is a problem with the environment setup: "If you have trouble connecting make sure your environment is setup correctly, see Setting up your environment" -but 'Setting up your environment' is not explained - dead link. help please!

This notebook is designed to be run in the Digital Earth Australia Sandbox. The idea is that the Sandbox is a space where an ODC environment is already set up, and data is already present in the database.

You can review the documentation for signing up to the Sandbox here: https://docs.dea.ga.gov.au/setup/Sandbox/sandbox.html

If you want to analyse Digital Earth Australia data in a Python environment, without needing to install anything locally, the Sandbox is a great place to start. Installing the ODC on your local machine has more steps, and may be more complex than you need.
