Data download and preparation​

The Thematic Mapping World Borders can be downloaded directly from the website, I use wget to download from the commandline.

Current version is 0.3, is nice for display, but is an unofficial version of the borders.

source ~/proyectos/CES/cesdata/env/project-env.sh
mkdir -p $GISDATA/admin/global/TMWB/
cd $GISDATA/admin/global/TMWB/
