Access
Sign in at: sandbox.digitalearth.africa
After signing in, you will be given a option of sandbox types to choose from:
Default: 2 Cores, 16G Memory
You may see other options as well. For regular users, the default environment should be enough for most of your needs.
Select Default environment and click Start.
The Sandbox will then prepare a JupyterLab environment for you; this can take a few minutes. You will automatically be redirected to the Sandbox environment.
The Sandbox runs completely in-browser and all necessary software is provided as part of this environment, so no additional installation or configuration is required.
