Datapaka is a command-line utility made to ease the process of creating datapackage.json files by asking the user for the values to use.

Installation

You need to first install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

It's not needed, but rather useful to symlink the datapaka executable into your PATH, so that you can run it from anywhere. In case your home directory contains a bin/ directory, some Linux distros like Debian already employ it in their path.

cd ~/bin
ln -s ~/repos/datapaka .

Otherwise you can symlink it in /usr/local/bin, which requires root privileges:

sudo ln -s ~/repos/datapaka/datapaka /usr/local/bin/datapaka

Usage

Datapaka works inside the directory of your new data package. It will look for a data/ directory inside and check its contents.

cd new-data-package
datapaka

In case you can't or don't want to follow the symlink suggestion above, you need to call the datapaka script using its full path, e.g.

cd new-data-package
~/repos/datapaka/datapaka
