Scripts to download and convert default data sources to Histograph format. Configuration of the individual scripts can be done in the Histograph configuration file.

Then, you can run all source processing scripts defined in the configuration file like this:

$ node index.js

Or you can select the scripts you want to run yourself:

$ node index.js geonames tgn ...

Alternatively, you can select the processing steps you want to run:

$ node index.js --steps=convert tgn geonames

Valid processing steps:

By default, all steps are run consecutively.
