No project description provided

Download MRT updates

Download MRT update or bview files, from RIPE RIS, routeviews, or both. The CLI uses a local cache for the index pages from the route collector projects.

# install the tool using pipx
pipx install git+https://github.com/ties/mrt-downloader.git
# Now the command should be available as `mrt-downloader`

# let's assume the 'mrt' directory exists
mkdir mrt

# And download a day's worth of mrt files to this directory

Installation

This project requires python 3.11 or higher. Some operating systems may not include this python version. In turn, this means that you may need to use install a higher python version first. An example of this on Rocky Linux 9 is given below.

There are two ways to use this project:

• Install the command-line tool using pipx
• As a checked out python project, using uv
• Or as a library (there is no documentation for this at the moment).

pipx

pipx install git+https://github.com/ties/mrt-downloader.git
# Now the command should be available as `mrt-downloader`
mrt-downloader mrt 2025-01-16T00:50 2025-01-17T00:00

uv

Only recommended when editing the project

# install dependencies
uv install
# download a day's MRT files into the mrt directory.
uv run python -m mrt_downloader.cli mrt 2025-01-16T00:50 2025-01-17T00:00

• Install pipx
• Install and run mrt-downloader.
