 Should spin up a web server on port 8888.  Fire up your web browser and try, for example, http://localhost/database/235235235?size=1 to generate a tiny example database.  Play with the size parameter with caution, the whole response is in memory first so big numbers (say > 1000) are probably a bad idea.
 
 Usage should be consistent, so going to the same URL should always generate the same value for testing purposes.

+    ./cli --help    
+
+Should produce the documentation.  Seed and size are exactly as the webserver.
