Please see here for a citation and links to GBs of data, which you should download and place in NASA_DATA_DIR as specified below.

For more information on the data, check out this document.

System Requirements

First, export a system (bash) variable corresponding to where you have cloned this repo named NASA_ULI_ROOT_DIR. For example, in your bashrc:

export NASA_ULI_ROOT_DIR={path to this directory on your machine}

Second, export a system (bash) variable corresponding to where you have downloaded data named NASA_DATA_DIR. For example, in your bashrc:

export NASA_DATA_DIR='path to where data is downloaded}

This code was tested using Python 3.6.12. In general, any version of Python 3 should work. See src/requirements.txt for specific packages.
