 ## Installation
-* Clone or download this repository
-* Download the database and load into SQLite
-	* Create the sqlite3 database from the hpr.sql MySQL dump file available on
-	  hackerpublicradio.org. The default name for the database file is "hpr.db"
-	  and should be located in the root of the project directory. The name and
-	  location can be set in the site.cfg file.
-	* An "update-hpr.sh" helper script is available in the utils directory. This
-	  script will download the hpr.sql file, convert it to the SQLite hpr.db file,
-	  and regenerate the website using the site-generator.
-		1. `cd` into the root of the project directory
-		2.  Run `./utils/update-hpr.sh`
-	* SQLite v3.8.3 or greater is recommended. CTE WITH clauses are used in some template queries. Must convert WITH
-	  clauses to sub-queries when using earlier versions of SQLite.
-* Install the needed Perl modules using preferred method (distribution packages, CPAN, etc.)
