    This will generate a `.dbf` file. You will then need to create a new VRT file to convert the `.dbf` into the final Shapefile.

    Create a file called `dataSource.vrt` with the following content:

    ```
    <OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="mylayer1">
    <SrcDataSource relativeToVRT="1">/my_dir</SrcDataSource>

    #### Alternative: CSV to GeoJSON

    Alternatively, you can accomplish the same results by converting a CSV to GeoJSON if you do not have a Shapefile.

    You will need to install [Mapbox's `csv2geojson` tool](https://github.com/mapbox/csv2geojson)

    Once installed you will be able to run the folowing command:

    ```
    csv2geojson --lat='Latitude' --lon='Longitude' data.csv > data.geojson
    ```

    For files larger than a few thousand lines, you will need to convert the CSV into a Shapefile with `ogr2ogr`

    ```
    ogr2ogr -f "Esri Shapefile" ./ ./data.csv

    # Import Millions of Features Into Mapbox

    This tutorial assumes you have either a SHP file or GeoJSON file with your data ready to go and project at WGS1984 (i.e., 4326). It also assumes you are operating under a Unix environment.

    #### Prerequisites

    1. OGR
    2. Brew
    3. Tippecanoe
    4. Mapbox.com Account
    5. Mapbox Studio

    #### Convert your Shapefile (SHP) to GeoJSON

    Unzip and change into the Shapefile directory into terminal

    ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" my_file.geojson my_file.shp

    #### Convert your GeoJSON to MBTILES

    tippecanoe -r 1.1 -o my_file.mbtiles my_file.geojson

    Finally, you'll want to login to your Mapbox.com account, visit the Data page, and upload your newly created my_file.mbtiles file.
