I highly recommend you always run each Python project within its own virtualenv. The commands below assume you have already created and activated a virtualenv for this project.
git clone [email protected]:newrelic-experimental/fake-user-agent-traffic-geneator.git
cd fake-user-agent-traffic-geneator
pip install -r requirements.txt
python generate.py
