Pump is a generic data flow program, meant to accommodate those who
often use multiple unrelated programs for data wrangling. Normally,
you would have to keep track manually about which program to call and
in what order.
With Pump, you just have to write a (simple) workflow file and
let the program run it for you. Not only does this make executing the
different scripts easier, it also gives you a better control over how
data sets are being created. You may even store the workflow file via
git or other version control systems, for example.
That way, you will never forget how you created that data set!
Pump is written in C++, following the recent C++11 standard, so you
definitely need a somewhat modern C++ compiler. Other than CMake as
a build system, Pump does not require any other dependencies.
- Clone the repository
- Install
CMakeusing a package manager of your choice - Install a modern C++ compiler such as
clangif you do not have one already
In the cloned repository, issue the following commands to build Pump:
