# Running a demo Prometheus

To run a demo Prometheus, you'll need to follow these steps:

* Have a Django application running and exporting its stats. The
  provided `prometheus.yml` assumes the stats are exported at
  `http://127.0.0.1:8000/metrics`.
* Install Prometheus by cloning it somewhere, see the [installation
  instructions](http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/).
  Let's assume you cloned it to `~/prometheus`.
* Run prometheus like this:
  ```shell
  ~/prometheus/prometheus \
    --config.file=prometheus.conf \
    --web.console.templates consoles/ \
    --web.console.libraries ~/prometheus/console_libraries/
  ```
* Navigate to [http://localhost:9090].

Change config.file declaration from .conf to .yml
Change config.file declaration from .conf to .yml

In the example the command given asks you to use prometheus.conf for your config.file, however, this file doesn't exist in the example. To keep consistent I've changed this.
