Issues setting up allbase for local development

Apologies for poor formatting, I couldn't find an issue template (happy to open up a PR for that).

Issue Description

I was running the suggested setup command given in the README: git clone https://github.com/TimothyStiles/allbase && cd allbase && go test -v ./...

After download and installation of dependencies, the output of go test was as follows:

Next Steps

Here is what I will try to get up and running

I notice there are some DB download commands under db/cmd/root.go, I have no idea how to run them but perhaps some tests depends on this.
If some tests depend on the service to be running, I would like to make it explicit that this is the case and either add helpful failure messages, or allow them to be disabled via environment variable.
Once I figure out how to resolve this, update the README.
