* Another possibility, using [https://www.python.org/ Python] 3, is this [http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/python_dumping_ground/short_scripts/extract-navdata.py extract-navdata.py script], which can install the files from a directory or directly from a tarball. Run <tt>extract-navdata.py --help</tt> or <tt>python3 extract-navdata.py --help</tt> for instructions. You may need to use <tt>py -3</tt> instead of <tt>python3</tt> on Windows, cf.
