Document how to download MetObjects.csv

abetusk commented 7 years ago

It looks like the MetObjects.csv file is under Git's Large File Storage system (git lfs) and git lfs is needed to download the full MetObjects.csv. Currently, doing a straight git clone https://github.com/metmuseum/openacces of the repository results in a MetObjects.csv file that contains the following lines:

version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1
oid sha256:ae65ed686b2ff727518dba12e3c0c3fa9eb925dc92367ce8557af52768eba08d
size 225088425

Which I believe is an lfs pointer.

To download onto my local system, I first had to install git lfs and then, in the openaccess repository, issue the following commands:

git lfs fetch
git lfs checkout

After which I now see the ~215MB MetObjects.csv file.

It would be nice to update the README.md with these steps for newcomers. I would be happy to add some documentation int he README.md file myself but it looks like you're not taking pull requests.
