+None of the following applies if you installed the pool AFTER June 2nd 2017, as the installers will do this work for you.
 
 The pool currently uses a version of LMDB that is not supported in Ubuntu 16.04 at this time.  Please run: bash deployment/install_lmdb_tools.sh once from the root of the installation to load the LMDB tools, this will put them somewhere handy on your path, and drop a new alias to them so they can be used to introspect your database.
