Not windows-friendly things

[fontclos]

There are a couple of things not 'windows friendly' - this rsync error is the first you'll hit.:

1. subprocess calls to rsync, wget and ln. Windows needs cwRsync, wget installed and added to path, and use mklink instead of ln
2. "\" vs "/" as a hardcoded file separator. Search for "/" and replace with os.path.sep

Working windows version a WIP - will push when/if I have it working.
Alternatively (win10) run in ubuntu_on_windows.

Hi! Any way I can fix this? I'm running it in Ubuntu on Windows. :)

For Windows, easiest way is to use WSL with Ubuntu and install following packages on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get upgrade -y && \
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip && \
sudo apt-get install -y python-is-python3 && \
sudo apt-get install -y rsync

and then run python get_data.py. This should work (at least for me, it did)
