Follow the steps on the synthea wiki to run the program and generate the files. This builder works off of the csv files, not the fhir files. To do this the exporter.csv.export
option in the ./src/main/resources/synthea.properties
file needs to be set to TRUE.

# The schema to load the Vocabulary and CDM tables is "cdm_synthea10".
# The username and pw are "postgres" and "lollipop".
