This post was migrated from my iNaturalist journal on 2023-02-26.
Suppose
- you have just downloaded an export of iNaturalist data,
- the data file is a zipped comma-separated value(CSV) text file,
- and you are running a Ubuntu system.
Begin by opening up a BASH environment.
Go to the path where the file was downloaded to:
1
cd /path/to/folder
Then run the unzip command:
1
unzip observations-<ID>.csv.zip
You should find that you now have the uncompressed CSV file. You can check with:
1
ls observations-<ID>.csv
