   9 ## Run
  10
  11 * Download repository and change directory
  12 * Start webserver (e.g. `python3 -m http.server`)
  13 * Go to `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser
  14
  15 Configure with [config.js](config.js).

  17 ## Update Database
  18
  19 The `names-<version>.json` files are based on JSON files created by OpenWrt
  20 (master): `Global build settings  ---> [*] Create JSON info files per build
  21 image`.
  22
  23 A [Python script](misc/collect.py) is included to merge the JSON files:
  24 `./collect.py bin/ --url
  25 'https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/{version}/targets/{target}' >
  26 names-test.json`.
  27
  28 For the OpenWrt 18.06 and 19.07 releases, you need to patch OpenWrt to output JSON files for collect.py (commit [openwrt/openwrt@881ed09](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/881ed09ee6e23f6c224184bb7493253c4624fb9f)).
