3. Refer to /config/config.php to input your API keys.
4. Refer to /config/MySQLDBInfo.php to input information to a MySQL Database (and MySQL user) for the program to use.
5. Refer to the /mysql folder for table setups within a schema. Run the /mysql/create_schema.sql file first, then the remaining ones to create the necessary tables.
