Get data and tutorials¶

Both command lines list EasyDiffraction's collection and download from it, the same collection the application's Load ▾ From web… reads. The commands are the same with edi (the standalone executable) and python -m edi.

edi list-data
edi list-data --kind project
edi download-data pd-neut-cwl_lbco-hrpt -d data
edi list-tutorials
edi download-tutorial pd-neut-cwl_lbco-hrpt -d tutorials
edi download-tutorial 1 --py
edi download-all-tutorials -d tutorials

python -m edi list-data
python -m edi list-data --kind project
python -m edi download-data pd-neut-cwl_lbco-hrpt -d data
python -m edi list-tutorials
python -m edi download-tutorial pd-neut-cwl_lbco-hrpt -d tutorials
python -m edi download-tutorial 1 --py
python -m edi download-all-tutorials -d tutorials

A name is an entry's id or its number in the listing; use the id in scripts. A project archive is unpacked into its own folder, and the command prints where. Sizes and SHA-256 digests are checked, and -o/--overwrite replaces what is already there. --source reads another collection; so does EDI_COLLECTION.

The standalone executable uses the operating system's secure connections: built in on Windows and macOS, and the libcurl library on Linux, which most systems have. Without it, the download commands say so, and --source with a local folder still works.
