How to Use

  1. Clone the repository

  2. Open terminal and navigate to the cloned directory

  3. Install python dependencies

  4. Create a folder called env in the project directory with one or more files each containing the following contents:

    CONFIG_NAME=<NAME SHOWN WHEN REFERRING TO THIS CONFIG (OPTIONAL)>
