Setup SNMP

See: https://blog.paessler.com/how-to-enable-snmp-on-your-operating-system

Allow localhost with community “public”.

This will allow M4 to poll your local SNMP deamon to get some fresh data.

If you skip this step, the data point imported later will generate errors.

Setup M4

pip3.5 install virtualenvwrapper-win
git clone https://github.com/dgagnon/m4system.git mym4dev
mkvirtualenv mym4dev
pip3.5 install -e .
manage migrate djangoplugins
manage migrate
manage collectstatic

Load the fixtures

python3.5 manage.py loaddata fixtures/auth.json
python3.5 manage.py loaddata fixtures/user.json
python3.5 manage.py loaddata fixtures/djcelery.json
python3.5 manage.py loaddata fixtures/scheduler.json
