download - Download Dataset

You can use the download command to download the datasets to the local file system by supplying the unique string identifier of the corresponding dataset (see List Available Datasets):

cmdata download "clintox"

This command will download the raw dataset files into the current working directory (CWD).

Changing the Destination Path

You can change the destination directory for the download using the --path option:

cmdata download --path="/tmp" "clintox"

Downloading the Graph Dataset

By default the command downloads the raw version of each dataset. You can supply --full flag to also download the processed/graph version of the dataset as well:

cmdata download --full "clintox"

This command will download the raw clintox.csv file and the clintox.mpack file. The processed dataset is stored in the MessagePack file format, which is essentially a binary version of the JSON format. When decoding this file with a programming language of choice, it will yield a list/sequence of graph dictionaries/objects as described in the Graph Representation documentation.
