Create Image Database

All the tools require a SQLITE database that describes the set of images you are working on. That database does not store the actual images but only their path. You can create that image database using a command-line tool provided by this package:

create-database --help

  --help          Show this message and exit.

Note that your current pwd should be from where you want to run the webapp (annotator or image search) later on.
