Download Worldbanc

Earlier in the course, the worldbanc files were pre-loaded into the browser shell for you. Now that you're on your own machine, you'll download it for real so you can keep investigating WorldBanc locally.

Assignment

If you're using WSL, your pwd output should not start with /mnt/c/ or /mnt/d/. Run cd ~ before continuing so you're working in the Linux filesystem.

  1. If you run into an issue, see the troubleshooting tips below.

    curl -L https://github.com/bootdotdev/worldbanc/archive/refs/heads/main.zip -o worldbanc.zip
    unzip worldbanc.zip
    rm worldbanc.zip
    mv worldbanc-main worldbanc
    

    You should now have a worldbanc directory in your current working directory. If you ever ruin your copy of worldbanc while practicing, just come back to this lesson and download it again.

  2. cd worldbanc
    

Troubleshooting

If you're having issues with the download due to curl or unzip not being installed on Ubuntu/WSL, you can install them with the following commands:

sudo apt install unzip
sudo apt install curl

for Windows Users

Certain Windows versions may not let you paste into the Command Line. See how to enable Ctrl+Shift+V.
