To run:

1. Update src/globals.py to contain a valid OpenAI API key
2. pipenv install
3. Save downloaded Facebook JSON data as a .zip file in src/store/input. Take the file path and save it as the variable RAW_FILE_PATH in src/globals.py
4. run main.py in the virtual environment

Be very careful with the data you download from Facebook. Do not share it or upload it to any website because it is personal data. Keep this stored locally and remove sensitive information when making a connection to an API.
