Install on Windows

Download the latest stable package for Windows.

You can either download the Windows installer package or a standalone Windows binary file.

Read [Upgrading Grafana]({{< relref "upgrading.md" >}}) for tips and guidance on updating an existing installation.

Install with Windows installer

Download the .msi installation file and run it, then follow the instructions in Getting Started to log in. The Grafana service starts automatically.

Install standalone Windows binary

  1. Download the zip file. The zip file contains a folder with the current Grafana version (or the one that you chose).

    Important: After you've downloaded the zip file and before extracting it, make sure to open the properties for that file (right-click Properties) and select the unblock check box and then click Ok.

  2. Extract this folder to anywhere you want Grafana to run from.

  3. Start Grafana by executing grafana-server.exe, located in the bin directory, preferably from the command line. If you want to run Grafana as a Windows service, then download NSSM. It is very easy to add Grafana as a Windows service using that tool.

To run Grafana open your browser and go to the Grafana port (http://localhost:3000/ is default) and then follow the instructions in Getting Started.

Note: The default Grafana port is 3000. This port might require extra permissions on Windows. If it does not appear in the default port, you can try changing to a different port.

  1. Go into the conf directory and copy sample.ini to custom.ini. Note: You should edit custom.ini, never defaults.ini.
  2. Edit custom.ini and uncomment the http_port configuration option (; is the comment character in ini files) and change it to something like 8080 or similar. That port should not require extra Windows privileges. Read more about the [configuration options]({{< relref "configuration.md" >}}).
