Hello @siminayazi

1. Install geemap:

   • You can install geemap using pip. Open your terminal or command prompt and run:

     pip install geemap

2. Set up Google Earth Engine (GEE):

   • You need to sign up for Google Earth Engine if you haven't already. Visit the Google Earth Engine Sign Up page and follow the instructions.

3. Authenticate GEE in Python:

   • After installing geemap, you need to authenticate your Google Earth Engine account. In a Jupyter Notebook or Python script, run:

     import ee
     import geemap
     
     # Authenticate and initialize Earth Engine
     ee.Authenticate()
     ee.Initialize()

4. Verify Installation:

   • To verify that everything is set up correctly, you can create a simple map using geemap:

     import geemap
     
     # Create a map centered at a specific location
     Map = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
     Map.add_basemap('SATELLITE')
     Map

This should display an interactive map centered at the specified coordinates.
