About Stats
The script installs the app, enables the Remote module and prints a URL with an authorization code - open it on any device and sign in to your System Stats account to authorize the machine. After that Stats starts streaming metrics to your account and is registered to launch automatically at login and restart if it stops. The Mac needs an active user session (a locked screen is fine) to run the app; on a fully headless machine Stats will start at the next login.
