Data download and preparation​

The World Bank Official Boundaries can be downloaded directly from a public amazon aws bucket. I use wget to download from the commandline.

There are many files with different formats and content, I download them all using a for loop.

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