# nyc_open_data
The purpose of this project is to empower you to
- create your own copy of NYC Open Data
- create and share ETL workflows with the NYC civic tech community
- explore NYC Open Data and your ETL output with open source BI solutions
## Overview
The project is a Ruby on Rails app with a Postgres database.
Each dataset is represented as an ActiveRecord model.
Create the database.
```
bundle exec rake db:create
```
Run migrations.
```
bundle exec rake db:migrate
```
Import a dataset.
```
DepartmentOfTransportation::BicycleCounter.import
```
You now have your own copy of the bicycle counter dataset!
## Local Setup
