{{Note|Installing the <tt>geographiclib-tools</tt> package is not enough to have the <tt>MagneticField</tt> program working.

<pre>/usr/sbin/geographiclib-get-magnetic minimal</pre> | <pre>/usr/sbin/geographiclib-get-magnetic minimal</pre> | ||
This will automatically download and install a minimal dataset under <tt>/usr/share/GeographicLib/magnetic</tt>, where it can be found by <tt>MagneticField</tt> (not registering the added files with <tt>dpkg</tt> though, which is a bit ugly, cf.
