To do this, you will first need a working PHP installation, composer and a local copy of this repository. Once you have these, open a terminal in your local version of this project's root directory and run this command to install the necessary dependencies:
composer installAfter this finishes, run the following command (here we will exclude the tld field from the output, but you can exclude any field you want):
php countries.php convert --exclude-field=tldYou can also exclude multiple fields:
php countries.php convert --exclude-field=tld --exclude-field=cca2
# Or using the shorter `-x` syntax:
php countries.php convert -x tld -x cca2If you prefer to include only some fields (this can not be combined with --exclude-field):
php countries.php convert --include-field=name --include-field=area
# or using the shorter `-i` syntax:
php countries.php convert -i name -i areaThe generated files are put into the dist directory, but you can change this to another existing directory:
mkdir foobar
php countries.php convert --output-dir=foobarYou can also choose to only generate some of the output formats:
mkdir foobar
php countries.php convert --format=json_unescaped --format=csv
# or using the shorter `-f` syntax:
php countries.php convert -f json_unescaped -f csvProjects using this dataset:

Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.
- add the type of the country (country, sovereign state, public body, territory, etc.)
- pull in data automatically from CLDR at build time (idea from @Munter, see #108)
https://www.currency-iso.org/ for currency codes.
Region and subregion are taken from https://github.com/hexorx/countries.
GeoJSON outlines come from http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php.
The rest comes from Wikipedia.
