# Installing on Mac
|
|
|
|
## Install using homebrew
|
|
|
|
Installation can be done using [homebrew](http://brew.sh/)
|
|
|
|
Install latest stable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew install grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To start grafana look at the command printed after the homebrew install completes.
|
|
|
|
To upgrade use the reinstall command
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew reinstall grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
You can also install the latest unstable grafana from git:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install --HEAD grafana/grafana/grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To upgrade grafana if you've installed from HEAD:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew reinstall --HEAD grafana/grafana/grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Starting Grafana
|
|
|
|
To start Grafana using homebrew services first make sure homebrew/services is installed.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew tap homebrew/services
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then start Grafana using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew services start grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
The Configuration file should be located at `/usr/local/etc/grafana/grafana.ini`.
|
|
|
|
### Logs
|
|
|
|
The log file should be located at `/usr/local/var/log/grafana/grafana.log`.
|
|
|
|
### Plugins
|
|
|
|
If you want to manually install a plugin place it here: `/usr/local/var/lib/grafana/plugins`.
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
|
|
The default sqlite database is located at `/usr/local/var/lib/grafana`
|
|
|
|
## Installing from binary tar file
|
|
|
|
Download [the latest `.tar.gz` file](https://grafana.com/get) and
|
|
extract it. This will extract into a folder named after the version you
|
|
downloaded. This folder contains all files required to run Grafana. There are
|
|
no init scripts or install scripts in this package.
|
|
|
|
To configure Grafana add a configuration file named `custom.ini` to the
|
|
`conf` folder and override any of the settings defined in
|
|
`conf/defaults.ini`.
|
|
|
|
Start Grafana by executing `./bin/grafana-server web`. The `grafana-server`
|
|
binary needs the working directory to be the root install directory (where the
|
|
binary and the `public` folder is located).
