Make `datacube` an optional dependency of `dea-tools` #1115

Open robbibt opened 12 months ago

robbibt commented 12 months ago

Many functions in DEA Tools don't directly require datacube access (e.g. our coastal tide modelling functions, RGB and animation code, band indices, vectorising/rasterising tools etc). However, datacube is currently listed as a required dependency here: https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/dea-notebooks/blob/develop/Tools/setup.py#L37

To make dea-tools easier to install, we should consider making datacube an optional dependency, using "extras" here: https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/dea-notebooks/blob/develop/Tools/setup.py#L68-L72

This should allow users to install dea-tools without having to also install datacube.

We should however ensure that some important dependencies like odc-geo and odc-stac are correctly included in our setup.py.
