It looks like it isn't possible to add multiple user accounts (in the free version). I tried browsing to /create_user myself to add a second account, but I get redirected to the /login page Is that something that comes with the Plus version ?

That's something I've been working on for some time, but it's not ready for public release. As I see it - Amon Plus will have a fully featured ACL in a week.

Why is the trend today towards installations like this? curl install.amon.cx | bash I'm looking at you, rvm, npm et al. Yeah, I'd just love you to poop files randomly into my filesystem, with no tracking, and a completely non-standard uninstall process (if I'm lucky enough to have one at all). We evolved package management for a reason - I know it's a pain to have to make a .deb, a .rpm and a .tar.gz - but is it real…

This, along with the dependencies (I don't like having to install MongoDB just for this), is the reason I don't want to try this.

I could probably deal with the installation, although I hate installing all those daemons and init scripts myself, but installing Mongo just for one thing, gah. Too bad there isn't an embedded version of Mongo, and my own goatfish[1] is still far from mature.

There's a typo on the Requirements page: http://amon.cx/plus/requirements/ Users are instructed to check their python version with `python -v`, but the correct command is `python -V` (uppercase).

Fixed. Thank you
