+
+# Installation
+- Download and extract the [latest release](https://github.com/asimov-deploy/asimov-deploy-winagent/releases/latest).
+- Edit config.js , the change graphiteUrl and elasticsearch to the correct urls. The urls entered here must be reachable by your browser.
+- Point your browser to the installation.

+# Graphite server config
+If you haven't used an alternative dashboard for graphite before you need to enable cross-domain origin request. For Apache 2.x:
+```
+Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
+Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS"
+Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, authorization, accept"
+```
+
+If your Graphite web is proteced by basic authentication, you have to enable the HTTP verb OPTIONS. This looks like the following for Apache:
+```
