BA_OST_Index_Parser

A parser to read and organize all the information from BA_OST_Index/ost_data repository.

Contributing & Working with data

Expected file tree:

/BA_OST_Index
    /ost_data (cloned)
        /...
    /ost_parser (cloned)
        /...
    /ost_data_export (cloned/newly-created folder)
        (empty)

In order to make the main.py script work out of the box, you'll need to create two symbolic links. They are:

Soft-link path	Original path
ost_parser/data	ost_data/
ost_parser/data_export	ost_data_export/

Note: these are relative paths shown in the file tree. You may need to replace them with absolute paths to create.

On Windows, use:

mklink /J [symlink_name] [target]

DO NOT use /D as it will make git.submodule function incorrectly.

On Linux, use:

ln -s [target] [symlink_name]
