Hello! Thank you for your swift response. Now "make" and "make -f ini.mk YEAR=2020" work, but I still cannot download the data sets. Here below, I list the commands and the error messages for your reference.

make

As the file of cb_2019_us_nation_5m.zip can be downloaded manually from ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2019/shp/cb_2019_us_nation_5m.zip, I was thinking the error could be due to a change in FTP address, so I tried to make changes in the Makefile, e.g., from

NATION := NATION/cb_$(YEAR)_us_nation_5m.zip

into

NATION := cb_$(YEAR)_us_nation_5m.zip

, and then run: make NATION STATE. However, I receive

curl -Lo 2019/cb_2019_us_nation_5m.zip -sS --retry 10 --retry-delay 1 --connect-timeout 2 ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2019/shp/cb_2019_us_nation_5m.zip curl: (28) Operation timed out after 2002 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received make: *** [2019/cb_2019_us_nation_5m.zip] Error 28

Could you kindly check? Many thanks!

This is an error from curl telling you that it can't connect to the census website. Check your internet connection and proxy settings. The census servers also suffer outages every once in a while.

make 2013/BG.shp YEAR=2013
make: *** No rule to make target `2013/BG.shp'. Stop.

The 2013 config file isn't part of the repo. If you want to create it use the command make -f ini.mk YEAR=2013. I've updated that command in the README.

Thank you so much! I've made much progress. Still, I have three issues.

  1. I cannot download data for the years before 2014. Here below, I give examples for the years of 2013 and 2010. The error for the year 2013 could be due to no shp folder under ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2013.

Another example. Changing the year of 2010 to 2014 doesn't work either.

  1. "\<year>/\<NAME>.shp" works for the year 2014, but I got an error message in the end. Moreover, I find all the downloads in my "get-tiger" folder, which can be opened. I do find zip files of the same names in the folder "./get-tiger/2014", however, they all have zero byte.

  1. I would like to download TIGER/Line files for specific geographical types for the year 2010 by setting CARTOGRAPHIC=false. The commands work for AREAWATER but not for RAILS and ROADS.

make 2010/RAILS.shp YEAR=2010 CARTOGRAPHIC=false

make: *** No rule to make target `2010/RAILS.shp'. Stop.

make 2010/ROADS.shp YEAR=2010 CARTOGRAPHIC=false

make: *** No rule to make target `2010/ROADS.shp'. Stop.

However, "make 2010/AREAWATER.shp YEAR=2010 CARTOGRAPHIC=false" can download files.

There was a bug in the wget command, so the download files went to the wrong directory. I've fixed. The zip files should be in the main directory you're working in. If you move them to 2014/BG, you should be able to rerun the command.

make 2010/RAILS.shp YEAR=2010 CARTOGRAPHIC=false
make 2010/ROADS.shp YEAR=2010 CARTOGRAPHIC=false

The "secret bonus tasks" for merging data aren't available for all datasets. But since you're interested, I've added ROADS and RAILS.
