Peastat provides real-time summaries of recent user activity from your log file. More information about Peastat can be found here.

To install Peastat on your account, do the following:

1. Download Peastat (pea.py.txt) from the website
2. Open pea.py.txt in your favourite text editor
3. Change the very first line (the shebang line) #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/local/bin/python (this is where python is located)
4. Change logfile = "/Users/tomdyson/access_log" to logfile = "/home/USERNAME/logs/access_log" (don’t forget to change USERNAME to your TextDrive user name)
5. Change rooturl = "http://throwingbeans.org" to include the URL of your website
6. Rename pea.py.txt to pea.py
7. Upload pea.py to the cgi-bin of your TextDrive account (/home/USERNAME/cgi-bin/)
8. Change the permissions of pea.py to 755 using either your ftp program or from the shell (chmod 755 pea.py)
9. Finally, point your browser to http://yourdomain.tld/cgi-bin/pea.py (and don’t forget to bookmark it for later)

And that’s it, Peastat should now be installed on your site!
