Environment problem #1

Thanks for the amazing tool. It saved me a lot of time to not have to code it myself. I'm not very familiar with environments, but it was not as straightforward to install for me as described. After fiddling around for a while, this is what I had to do to make it work:

git clone https://github.com/cusicand/lidarhd_ign_downloader.git cd ./lidarhd_ign_downloader (The changes to the bashrc) source ~/.bashrc conda env create -f py39.yml source activate py39 pip install wget pip install tdqm python lidar_downloader.py aoi_double.shp -tr 1 conda deactivate

From what I gathered online the fact of having to use 'source activate' instead of 'conda activate' could have something to do with an older version of conda. Regarding the necessity to install wget and tdqm inside the environment, that's something I cannot get my head around. Because: conda env create -f py39.yml source activate py39 conda list shows both library as being already installed, before the pip commands. But running the python script will return 'ModuleNotFoundError'

I don't think it requires a modification to you code, it seems very conda installation dependant, but I wanted to leave my workaround here if either someone needed it. Thank you again Best Alix

Hi Alix, Thanks for your comment.

Yes, I agree with you that this script is python-conda dependent. However, this is the way I found to work with python and lead with library dependencies. I have updated the instructions in the Readme.md file to be more explicit with all the steps.

Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you still have problems with the installation. Best Diego

Hi, Thanks it looks even clearer now in the Readme. For me it worked like a charm after doing the adjustments I wrote above and I downloaded quite an extensive domain near the Lautaret pass (3.5Gb tiff) with no trouble. Thanks again for the work Best Alix
