An issue with the currently versioning set up is that there's no way for users to know which versions are available (you can only get a list of the files in an s3 buckets using the with aws cli and we don’t want to make users make an aws account). We need some other way for users to get the possible versions to download. Given that, the instructions are basically just:

install mysql server (details depend on operating system) run the following commands:

wb_version=22072022
wget https://wordbank-versioning.s3.amazonaws.com/wordbank_${wordbank_version}.sql
sudo mysql < wordbank-${wb_version}.sql

previous versions are now listed in versions.txt, which is programmatically updateable

instructions are a wiki page
