Python Modules

On the command prompt:

SET HTTP_PROXY=http://login:password@proxy.example.com:8012

pip install google-api-python-client
pip install pycrypto
pip install oauth2client
pip install earthengine-api

Google Authentication

On the command prompt:

earthengine authenticate

Script

import ee
import os

os.environ['http_proxy'] = "http://login:password@proxy.example.com:8012"
os.environ['https_proxy'] = "http://login:password@proxy.example.com:8012"
