3. In order to extract your 1st degree FB connections, you need to execute the script as follows:

$ py facebook-connections.py -u <you_email_address> -p <your_passowrd>

4. In order to extract your 2nd degree FB connections, you have to run the script multiple times in batch mode, using the following command:

$ py facebook-connections.py -u <you_email_address> -p <your_passowrd> --seeds <1st-degree-file.csv> --workers 1

5. You can check the to_process.csv file to verify you finished processing the social graph you were assigned. A better approach is to open your 1st-degree file to make sure the all rows has TRUE value in column processed.
