The process is fairly self-explanatory: fill in the requested information, or hit 'Enter' to defer at any step. By default, the resulting profile will be stored as a [YML](http://fdik.org/yml/) file at `~/.jasper/profile.yml`.

If, instead of being asked for your First Name you get the following error:
{% highlight bash %}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "populate.py", line 146, in <module>
run()
File "populate.py", line 26, in run
simple_request('first_name', 'First name')
File "populate.py", line 19, in simple_request
input = raw_input(cleanVar + ": ")
NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined
{% endhighlight %}
then simply run
{% highlight bash %}
python2 populate.py
{% endhighlight %}
As this error is caused by python3.x being linked to your python executable and not python2.x

**Important**: _populate.py_ will request your Gmail password. Of course, this is purely optional and will never leave the device. This password allows Jasper to report on incoming emails _and_ send you text or email notifications, but be aware that the password will be stored as plaintext in _profile.yml_. The Gmail _address_ can be entered alone (without a password) and will be used to send you notifications if you configure a Mailgun account, as described below.
