WorldPop Africa Population Estimates

Running maas_install.sh directly invokes world_population_data.py and world_population_processing.py.

world_population_data.py establishes model runs for the five time steps (2000-2020 in five-year intervals) available from worldpop. This script assumes that these runs are already stored in S3 at world-modelers/results/world_population_africa.

world_population_processing.py converts all raster files provided into point data and puts them into the MaaS database. This script assumes you have configured your database with ../REST-Server/config.ini as well as the GADM level 2 world file which can be downloaded from S3 here. Unzip this in the directory above (../gadm2). This also assumes that you have a directory located within this one called Africa_1km_Population which contains the relevant .tif files.
