Cross-platform support for data generation scripts #6

Closed natebass closed 1 year ago

Unix shell commands that manipulated the file system (like mkdir -p, unzip) didn't work on Windows. I changed out these commands with equivalent NodeJS for better cross-platform support.

I added the library for unzip yauzl-promise, a version of Yet Another Unzip Library for NodeJS that supports promises. It was the best alternative I could find, as unzipping files didn't seem trivial to do in vanilla NodeJS.

Ok, I am going to merge. Let me know if it breaks anything on Mac.
