python manage.py init_mikaponics
python manage.py init_crop_data_sheets
python manage.py init_problem_data_sheets
python manage.py create_admin_user "bart@mikasoftware.com" "123password" "Bart" "Mika";
python manage.py setup_resource_server_authorization

   # Medium dataset
   python manage.py seed_database 25 20 5000
   
   # Large dataset
   python manage.py seed_database 100 30 10000
   
   # Gigantic dataset
   python manage.py seed_database 10000 50 100000
   
   # Epic dataset
   python manage.py seed_database 100000 75 1000000
   

4. If you would like to have some random test data to a specific user, feel free to run:
