Nesstar is a platform for data publishing, exploration, and analysis, often used for managing social science research data. Unfortunately, Nesstar does not have a direct Python SDK or library.

This dataset is published using Nesstar and the downloaded Microdata has the following files.

Apple Mac Setup

Using the following steps, I got Nesstar Explorer working on Apple MacBook Pro M2.

# Install stable version of wine.
$ brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-stable

# Install Rosetta.
$ softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

# Install gstreamer.
$ brew install --cask gstreamer-development

Finally, open wine-stable from Spotlight on Mac and select the .Nesstar file to open in Nesstar Explorer. 🎉

NOTE: Nesstar Explorer supports exporting the dataset in tab-delimited format.
