Thank you for the great tool! I was wondering if there is a pre-built database available for download, or if users need to build it from scratch using the provided instructions? Having access to a pre-built database would be very helpful for users looking to save time during setup.

Hi, right now it needs to be built, which we agree is not great. The database is pretty big (~430GB) and we haven't found a repository that allows uploads of this size without charging us for the egress. We are currently finishing the revisions but after that finding a way to distribute the database is a priority for me.
