Run

---

python src/main.py

command parameters

• --count - number (optional)
• --start - number (opional)
• --init - null (first-run only / or consecutive database rebuild)

---

Initialize Database and Table

The command initialized the Database on add default Ten(10) Items

python src/main.py --init

---

Specify Start and End Count

# lets assume that you already run the above statement, then run this after

python src/main.py --count 50 --start 11

This will add items from Page 11 to 50

NOTE: we already added 10 items from 10 pages upon initialization so it says we have to start at 11

---

Single Line

python src/main.py --init --count 50

This will initialize Database and add 50 items from 50 Pages

Be sure when specifying a --start value it must not overlapped with your previous --count value command

python src/main.py --init --count 100
# and then subsequently run
python src/main.py --start 99 --count 500

this will return an error because item 99 and 100 overlapped already

---

Generate Words List

generate a list of words as a JSON file

python src/words.py

This will give an error if the database has not been created yet
