💖 NAME 💖

geographiclib-get-magnetic — a GeographicLib administrative tool, and bestie, it's giving very useful utility energy ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: geographiclib-get-magnetic is the little script that goes out and downloads and installs the magnetic datasets that GeographicLib needs to do its thing 💅 Like, it literally fetches them for you. Iconic behavior, no cap.

The whole project lives over at <https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io> if you wanna peek at the mothership 🌈

Now — want the actual docs? Not me gatekeeping, you just gotta ask nicely by passing the -h option:

geographiclib-get-magnetic -h

That's it. That's the whole vibe check 🎀

By default, the datasets get installed into /usr/local/share/GeographicLib/magnetic — that's the home base, the main character address, periodt 📍

⚠️ heads up bestie: the script requires write access to this directory. So if you don't have permission to write there, it's gonna be a whole thing. Make sure you've got the access before you send it 🌸

and that's the page, fr fr 💜 this little love letter comes to you from the GeographicLib manual collection, filed under geographiclib-get-magnetic(8) — tysm for reading, you're doing amazing sweetie, go forth and download those magnetic datasets 🫶✨
