Access datasets via command line
Part A [for all datasets]
Download and unpack the executable by following the two steps below.
- Download the latest files-cli for linux (files-cli_linux_64bit.tar.gz) from Releases · Files-com/files-cli
- Unpack the tarball using: tar zxvf files-cli_linux_64bit.tar.gz. This will create the files-cli executable.
Part B [dataset-specific]
Once the executable is ready, download using commands specific to each dataset. Please adjust the “custom_path/to/download" section referenced in each command to fit the location where you would like to direct your downloaded dataset.
