# Download TrajNet++ Data
The [Executable Book](https://www.svenkreiss.com/socialforce/)
requires some real-world data for the TrajNet++ section.
This is how to download and unzip it to the right folder:
```
wget -q https://github.com/vita-epfl/trajnetplusplusdata/releases/download/v4.0/train.zip
mkdir data-trajnet
unzip train.zip -d data-trajnet
```
