This was a major rearchitecture of the script. See [installation instructions here](https://github.com/benkeen/generatedata/blob/master/PRODUCTION.md). This is the repo for the downloadable version of [generatedata.com](https://generatedata.com). The script is essentially an *engine* to generate any sort of random data in any format. It currently comes with 30 or so *Data Types* (types of data it generates), 12 *Export Types* (formats for the data, like CSV, SQL, JSON), plus around 32 data sets for specific countries (city names, regions etc). But more importantly it can be extended in any way you want. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Docker - node 24 (use nvm) - pnpm See the [Installation instructions](https://benkeen.github.io/generatedata/userdoc/installation/intro) for full details.
