webnucleo/data_download repository overview

⁠data_download

This docker image downloads data appropriate for webnucleo projects. You first need to have installed docker⁠ and be able to run it. You can verify that docker is properly installed, for example, by running the Hello, World image in an appropriate shell. To do so, type:

docker run hello-world

With docker correctly installed, you can run the image. First, choose the directory you will download the data to and find its absolute path. On a linux type system, you can change to an appropriate directory and type

pwd

For example, I am on my Mac Desktop, so I find the result is /Users/bradleymeyer/Desktop. I will download the data to a directory data_pub off my Desktop (you will use the answer to pwd instead of /Users/bradleymeyer/Desktop in your case). To do so, I type (all on a single line)

docker run -it -v /Users/bradleymeyer/Desktop/data_pub:/data_directory -e VAR=data webnucleo/data_download

This first pulls and installs the necessary codes. It then downloads the data.

The downloaded data are in the directory data_pub. The variable VAR tells the image which data to download. Current possible values of VAR are data, multi_zone_data, neutrino_data, and weak_data. These are used in Webnucleo codes. For example, I can get the neutrino data by typing (on a single line)

docker run -it -v /Users/bradleymeyer/Desktop/data_pub:/data_directory -e VAR=neutrino_data webnucleo/data_download

To clean up all the data, I type

docker run -it -e VAR=clean_data webnucleo/data_download

and then

rm -fr data_pub

There are a number of possible different versions of the basic Webnucleo data (VAR=data), as described at this blog post⁠. To choose among these, add the appropriate environment variable to your docker run. For example, to get the full version of V2.0 and leave the version name, I can type (on a single line):

docker run -it -v /Users/bradleymeyer/Desktop/data_pub:/data_directory -e VAR=data -e WN_DATA_VERSION="V2.0" -e WN_DATA_FULL=1 -e WN_DATA_LEAVE_VERSION_NAME=1 webnucleo/data_download
