No, I want you to run it as the same user that the webserver is
configured to run cgi programs as. It's almost certainly not root.

You'll also need to set environment variables as the script expects them.

export HTTP_USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.109 Safari/537.36"
export HTTP_HOST="yourservername.com"
export REMOTE_ADDR=127.0.0.1
export REQUEST_URI=/cgi-bin/metrites.py"
etc.
