How to use
**********

**Requirements**: Postgres and Python3


After installing via pip:

.. code-block:: bash

pip3 install nycdb


You'll be able to use the program `nycdb` to import a database.


For example to load all of hpd violations:

.. code-block:: bash

nycdb --download hpd_violations
nycdb --load hpd_violations -P YOUR_PG_PASSWORD -D YOUR_DATABASE

To see all possible datasets:

.. code-block:: bash

nycdb --list-datasets


After a dataset has been loaded you can verify it with "--verify"

.. code-block:: bash

nycdb --verify hpd_violations
nycdb --verify-all


By default the downloaded data files are stores in './data'. Use --root-dir to change the location of the data directory.

To see more options run: `nycdb --help`
