![](http://docs.grafana.org/assets/img/features/dashboard_ex1.png)
## Installation
Head to [docs.grafana.org](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/) and [download](https://grafana.com/get)
the latest release.
If you have any problems please read the [troubleshooting guide](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/troubleshooting/).
## Documentation & Support
Be sure to read the [getting started guide](http://docs.grafana.org/guides/gettingstarted/) and the other feature guides.
## Run from master
If you want to build a package yourself, or contribute - Here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find
the latest master builds [here](https://grafana.com/grafana/download)
### Dependencies
- Go 1.10
- NodeJS LTS
### Building the backend
```bash
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
go run build.go setup
go run build.go build
```
### Building frontend assets
For this you need nodejs (v.6+).
To build the assets, rebuild on file change, and serve them by Grafana's webserver (http://localhost:3000):
```bash
npm install -g yarn
yarn install --pure-lockfile
yarn watch
```
Build the assets, rebuild on file change with Hot Module Replacement (HMR), and serve them by webpack-dev-server (http://localhost:3333):
```bash
yarn start
# OR set a theme
env GRAFANA_THEME=light yarn start
```
Note: HMR for Angular is not supported. If you edit files in the Angular part of the app, the whole page will reload.
Run tests
```bash
yarn jest
```
### Recompile backend on source change
To rebuild on source change.
```bash
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
bra run
```
Open grafana in your browser (default: `http://localhost:3000`) and login with admin user (default: `user/pass = admin/admin`).
### Building a docker image (on linux/amd64)
This builds a docker image from your local sources:
1. Build the frontend `go run build.go build-frontend`
2. Build the docker image `make build-docker-dev`
The resulting image will be tagged as `grafana/grafana:dev`
### Dev config
Create a custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options.
You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
1. grafana.ini
1. custom.ini
In your custom.ini uncomment (remove the leading `;`) sign. And set `app_mode = development`.
### Running tests
#### Frontend
Execute all frontend tests
```bash
yarn test
```
Writing & watching frontend tests
- Start watcher: `yarn jest`
- Jest will run all test files that end with the name ".test.ts"
#### Backend
```bash
# Run Golang tests using sqlite3 as database (default)
go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using mysql as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/mysql_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using postgres as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/postgres_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test ./pkg/...
```
## Building custom docker image
You can build a custom image using Docker, which doesn't require installing any dependencies besides docker itself.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/grafana/grafana
cd grafana
docker build -t grafana:dev .
docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3000:3000 grafana:dev
```
Open grafana in your browser (default: `http://localhost:3000`) and login with admin user (default: `user/pass = admin/admin`).
