--) in idle (Python Shell), select file->open and select the "exosite.py" script (it will open in a new window)
--) check the script by selecting run->check module.  if no errors were generated, it is ready to run
--) update the default credentials in options.cfg to use your xmpp login and device CIK
--) run the script by pressing "F5" or by selecting run->run module
--) click "start" next to one or more data sources (currently:cpu monitor, random, sawtooth)
--) verify the app connects, creates a datasource and sends data (no errors should be generated)
--) log into one.exosite.com and verify the data source is created and that data was generated
* note, you can also just run python from any command prompt, but you have to have your environment PATH variable (or equivalent) setup correctly.  command prompt command is 'python exosite.py'
