3. Build the server and the CLI tools

    go mod download
    go build
    go build -o pppcli cli/main.go
   

4. Create a config.yaml with the following parameters at minimum

    database: temp.db

5. Create the sqlite database by running pppcli.

    ./pppcli dbInit

    ./pppconverter
   

Notes

• The data.csv file in the repo will not be frequently updated, however, the site itself will fetch new data once a week.
• Some automation code is yet to be open sourced as I'm still working out some minor bugs in the code.
