2. Place the ungeocoded data csv file in the same folder as the python script.
3. Open your data csv to identify which column #s are relevant for the geocoding script. Begin counting from zero.
4. Update the column numbers for the house number, street name, and borough columns in the python script on lines 10-14.
5. Via the command line, navigate inside the folder.
6. Run the script by running python geosearch_v.py input.csv output.csv in the command line, filling in the appropriate vairables:
   • _v version for your Python version
   • input csv file name
   • preferred output file name

If the script is running correctly, you will see it printing the results in the terminal for each row it iterates through.
