plugin installation error

[d3netxer]

I installed the plug-in. After the plug-in installed it did not ask me authenticate, so I am assuming I am already authenticated. But then again, I am not sure why it did not ask me. Anyways, I then try to test if the plugin is installed and authenticated properly as it says in the instructions:

>>> import ee
>>> print(ee.String('Hello World from EE!').getInfo())
Hello World from EE!

However, I get the following error:

print(ee.String('Hello World from EE!').getInfo())

I figured this out, it was an authentication issue. I had to install the Google Earth Engine command line tool, and then run the 'earthengine authenticate' from the command line. Can you please add this information to your page? https://gee-community.github.io/qgis-earthengine-plugin/

Hi @d3netxer, thanks for your report, and yes we need to improve the documentation. On the other hand, your report made me realize a problem in the authentication init function in the plugin, I'll fix it in the following days.

@d3netxer, the page is extended with a FAQ section where additional instructions are provided on how to authenticate using CLI. This was on the GitHub readme but not on the page. Hopefully, this will help others who face the same issue.
