Hello!

The following code works on the Hackweek Pangeo but not on my personal computer.

import os
import shutil
import h5py
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from icepyx import icesat2data as ipd

short_name = 'ATL06'
spatial_extent = [31.5, -70.56, 33.73, -69.29]
date_range = ['2020-03-30','2020-04-1']
region_a = ipd.Icesat2Data(short_name, spatial_extent, date_range)

earthdata_uid = 'therealbradlipovsky'
email = 'brad_lipovsky@fas.harvard.edu'
region_a.earthdata_login(earthdata_uid, email)
region_a.download_granules('/home/jovyan/data') 

When run on my personal computer, I get the following error. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks!

Brad
