ValueError: unrecognized engine ee must be one of: ['h5netcdf', 'scipy', 'store']

Hello, I am running the following cell when the error occurred. Even after doing pip install xarray[complete], the error still occurred.

ic = ee.ImageCollection('ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/DAILY_AGGR').filterDate(
    '2000-01-01', '2023-12-31').select('temperature_2m')
# Another way to do the selection is to not select any band in ic,
# and then use xarray to select the desired variable.
region = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-130, 25, -60, 50)
ds = xr.open_dataset(ic,
                     engine='ee',
                     crs='EPSG:4326',
                     scale=0.2,
                     geometry=region)

The error that occurred involved the engine 'ee' not existing

I guess that should do something with the EE installation (better to share the exact error to know better what it may be). Were you able to initialize ee in the cell before? And is the error happening in the line for "ic = ..." or "ds =..."?

Yes, i was able to initialise EE. The error is occurring in the line "ds = ...". Here is the full error:

Have you installed xee (https://github.com/google/Xee)? If not, please do so (pip install --upgrade xee). If yes, I'm not sure what's causing the issue :|

It works now! Thank you and apologies for the blunder, I may have missed that out in the tutorial

Great! Glad to hear that the issue is resolved.
