This are some python code and some scripts that I needed to start working with the Open Data Cube (https://www.opendatacube.org/) on Windows.
We have downloaded the Miniconda from here: https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/windows.html and used Miniconda3 4.5.11 (64 bits setup): Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe
Additional steps are: Add the conda-forge channel: conda config --add channels conda-forge
Create a virtual environment in conda: conda create --name cubeenv python=3.6 datacube
Activate the virtual environment: conda activate cubeenv
Install other packages: conda install jupyter matplotlib scipy
We have downloaded the PostGreSQL from here: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads selecting the version postgresql-10.5-2-windows-x64.
To make the pgAdmin4 to work there is a need to setup the vcredist_x86 from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
I created the "datacube" database directly in pgAdmin4.
Opening the miniconda console I was a bit difficult to figure out where the configuration file datacube.conf should be. It seems that it look sfor it in the following locations.
- c:\etc\datacube.conf
- c:\users{username}.datacube.conf
- c:\datacube.conf (current location of the miniconda console). I decided for "c:\users{username}"
A configuration file needs to be created. After that we can create the database schemas with: datacube -v system init
