 We were provided with a virus-infested MS Access DB of the part-number->drawer-number mapping catalog, with a VB6 frontend.
 We dumped this Access db into a sqlite3 db using MDBtool, and wrote a Flask app to query it, with a static js/html frontend.
 
+## External Requirements
+
+To adapt the database file itself,you will need [MDB Tools](https://github.com/mdbtools). This is available in Debian packages,
+MacOS brew, and probably other unix package repos.
+
 ## Populating the DB from the MDB dumps
 ```bash
 $ ./data/insert_csv.sh data/db1.mdb > data.sql # generate a file of INSERTs from the mdb
-$ flask initdb # uses schema.sql and data.sql to generate a new db
+$ flask --app partdb.py initdb # uses schema.sql and data.sql to generate a new db
+$ flask --app partdb.py run # runs the app
 ```
