Hi everyone! I’m processing data with dask/xarray on an slurm interactive session, and it would be great to visualize it with Geoviews.

However, I notice a crash when trying to do overlays with political data (country boundaries, etc).

Is there a way to download such bases in advance to use it offline? (the working nodes are isolated from internet)
