Hello,

I am trying to download the data from a direct link rather than the way described on this page which is hard for me to follow and access the data. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

There is no a direct link but you can just install the aws client:

```auto
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install

```

and then run the following commands:

```auto
aws s3 cp s3://drivendata-competition-biomassters-public-eu/train_features/ ./features/ --no-sign-request --recursive
aws s3 cp s3://drivendata-competition-biomassters-public-eu/test_features/ ./features/ --no-sign-request --recursive
aws s3 cp s3://drivendata-competition-biomassters-public-eu/train_agbm/ ./agbm/ --no-sign-request --recursive

```

it would take about 3h to download everything.

Thank you cayala for your quick reply.

I was wondering if the above code is meant to be written in the command prompt.

Thanks once again for your answer.
