[Help]: Cloud computing space other than Colab

[mostafadazi]

Hi, I have a few questions.

1. First question: Can this code be executed in an Cloud environment other than Colab?
2. Is it possible to install the library with pip command and use all its features?
   3 ) When I use this part of the code (sbas.load_dem(DEM, roi), I encounter such an error
   FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'gmtsar_sharedir.csh'

1. Yes, sure, any Linux or MacOS platform supported but installation scripts available for Linux Ubuntu and MacOS only.
2. You need to install GMTSAR binaries for Sentinel-1 data preprocessing and SNAPHU unwrapper.

Thank you for your response.

Do you think it's possible to use Microsoft Azure?

No matter how hard I've tried to execute the code in this environment, I couldn't succeed. And I'm facing this error.
I used this part of the code to install gmtsar, but encountering this error:

The errors mean you do not have the required root access to install software. Try using 'sudo' without a password before each command.

[mostafadazi]

Unfortunately, it does not support the sudo command

/bin/bash: line 1: sudo: command not found

[AlexeyPechnikov]

In this case, you do not have the ability to install any software. You might consider using paid Azure services where root access is granted.
