✨ NAME ✨

geographiclib-get-gravity — a GeographicLib administrative tool. periodt 💖

Okay bestie, you're reading the geographiclib-get-gravity(8) manual page from the GeographicLib universe, and she's here to help.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So geographiclib-get-gravity downloads and installs the gravity datasets used by GeographicLib, which lives at <https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io>. no cap, that's the whole mission. 🌈

For documentation, just supply the -h option:

geographiclib-get-gravity -h

By default, the datasets are installed in /usr/local/share/GeographicLib/gravity, and the script requires write access to this directory. so yes, bestie, it needs to be able to write there. 👑

🫶 lowkey important: no write access to that directory means the script can't do its thing.

💖 brought to you by GeographicLib, and this iconic page is geographiclib-get-gravity(8). 💖
