The suggested fix is to indicate the various python servers that are used to download the dependencies as trusted sources during package installation, i.e.,
pip install . --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.org
To determine the AQS Site ID for an ambient monitoring site at which sensors have been collocated alongside reference monitors, use EPA’s AirData Air Quality Monitors Map
Click ‘OK’ to close the splash screen.
In the top right-hand corner, click on the layers button (icon with a set of stacked squares). By default, the ‘USA States’ layer is selected.
Scroll through the list and find the pollutant you are interested in evaluating. Layers labeled ‘Active’ correspond to sites that are actively reporting to AQS.
Clicking on a layer will display sites with reference monitors measuring the indicated pollutant.
Below, the “PM2.5 – Active” displays all US sites in the AQS database that are actively monitoring and reporting.
Navigate to a site of interest, either via use of the search bar in the top left-hand corner or by manually zooming in on the region in which the site is located. Clicking on the site pin will bring up information about the site and monitors measuring the specified pollutant. Ensure the address and site name correspond to the site where the air sensors were collocated. The AQS Site ID is listed at the top of the site information menu.
