+### Database setup guide
+
+1. Make sure all the requirements in ’requirements.txt’ are met. If they are not
+met, run pip install -r requirements.txt in the root of the project.
+2. Run the python script ’integrate.py’ in the ’src’ folder. Set all booleans to
+’False’ in the main methode of the script. If the datasets have already been
+downloaded, set all the booleans to ’True’. The datasets need to be in a
+folder named ’datasets’ in ’src’ (this should be set up automatically by the
+script).
+3. Ensure you have a running Postgres instance with a database.
+4. Ensure you have the correct credentials in the python script ’fill_db.py’ in
+’dbinfo’
+5. Run ’fill_db.py’
