- `./write_big_data.py`
- `sudo ./run_all_tests.py -vv`. The `-vv` sets verbose to max. If you do not want the script to print status info to the terminal, run without `-vv`. This script first checks the backends are up, so give it a few seconds to confirm that is working. Then it runs the backends for 48 hours (can be changed by passing an argument to `-t`). When finished it will output to terminal and the file `npusearch_install.log` whether all the tests passed or not. Run `./run_all_tests.py --help` if you want help configuring the verbose/timing options.
