Lesson 3 - Can't Download Planet Data Images Tar Archive

Hi all!

For those of you that want to download directly on their notebook server:

This assumes you are logged in into Kaggle and you have accepted the conditions of the competition.

  1. Open the Chrome browser on your local machine
  2. Install the cookie.txt extension from this link
  3. Go to the Kaggle dataset
  4. Locate the download button button of the dataset you want (see example in image below)
  5. Copy the link (right-click on that button)
  6. Export your cookies using the newly added plugin
  7. Go to your remote notebook
  8. Upload the cookie.txt file (I put it in the data folder)
  9. Run the following wget command
! wget --load-cookies data/cookies.txt PASTE_YOUR_LINK

Example of copying download link, downloading the cookies and the resulting script with correct naming (you can do it with the above script, but this makes it a bit easier):

Sorry for the badly composed image, but as a new user I can only upload 1 image.

Hope this helps out some of you!

Best regards!
