How to Run the Importer to Create a Database from Scratch (OPTIONAL)

This is optional. You can use the included movie.db to run the website. In case you want to recreate the database from scratch, do the following:\

1. Download the HetRec MovieLens dataset or use the copy included with the final submission (hetrec2011-movielens-2k-v2 folder)
2. Extract the final submission archive
3. cd to ImporterPublish subfolder, which contains Importer.exe
4. From a PowerShell or CMD terminal, run Importer.exe
5. Importer -i <path to dataset> [-x] NOTE: -x flag will delete any existing movie.db database at the output location
   1. Example: Importer -i "W:\source\repos\finalProject\testFiles\hetrec2011-movielens-2k-v2" -x
   2. Running this command will create the SQLite database at %AppData%\cs564proj\movie.db
   3. Specify a custom output location by using the optional -d flag [-d] <path to db>

A fresh database is created!
