Help with sen2cor and SNAP

Tony · October 20, 2016, 10:04pm

I appreciate any help on how to solve this issue.

Hello.

I also have encountered the same error.
What I did to make Sen2Cor work (on Windows):

Uninstall Anaconda (2.4.1) and re-install it.
Do not run the update commands (as per user manual: “conda update conda”, “conda update anaconda”).
Run python setup.py install as an administrator.
After this, L2A_Process ran successfully.

It seems that, starting with a certain Anaconda version, if you perform the update commands, Sen2Cor will not be able to downgrade some dependencies.

Would somebody please help with this one?

Hello Kraftek,

I was able to follow the steps you provide, but when I run it, I get the following message.

Anybody knows how to solve this? Thanks

@Mehboobalam: This indicates limited writing authorization. You need to open your command line with administrator rights as stated by kraftek.

@Tony Can you please post a screenshot of the parameters of sen2cor? You find them under Tools > Manage external tools > sen2cor > edit

I hope it’s ok that I post the last one from your message

Try to replace the PYTHON_BIN variable (python.exe) with the full path to the executable: C:\Anaconda\python.exe

This helped in many cases when the process was not executed correctly.

Hi,
I still get the same error. and I put the full path. the full path shows when I click on python.exe. But when I run it I get the same error as before

is your installation directory really D:\sen2cor-2.2.1?

Tony · October 25, 2016, 5:37pm

I have it two locations. one in D:\ and another one in the downloads folder.

Tony · October 25, 2016, 5:42pm

This picture shows the path that I specified during the installation.

ABraun · October 25, 2016, 5:56pm

how did you install it?
It is actually under C:\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages\sen2cor-2.2.1-py2.7.egg\sen2cor

Could be that it cannot be found because of this.

What happens when you type L2A_Process in your command line?

Tony · October 25, 2016, 6:00pm

This is what I get as result:

ABraun · October 25, 2016, 6:05pm

that looks fine.
Can you run the tool from the command line?

Just open your command line in the folder where the folder with your S2 data (.safe) is located and type
L2A_Process --resolution 60 nameofthefolder

Tony · October 25, 2016, 7:30pm

Hey again,
here is where I have the sentinel data. what folder should I put on that command?

ABraun · October 25, 2016, 8:06pm

the one which would be one level above. It is created when you extract the data.
But the original path S2A_OPER…safe is needed.

see here, page 40

Thanks Braun. I went through that pdf.
where do should I specify the path in this picture? (C:\Program Files\Anaconda2\Lib\site-packages\sen2cor-2.2.1-py2.7.egg\sen2cor).

Tony · October 25, 2016, 9:06pm

Could you possibly, explain what this is doing: It is a screenshot from page 40 of the pdf.
