Install from binary tar file
Download the latest .tar.gz file 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
Start Grafana by executing ./bin/grafana-server. The grafana-server binary needs the working directory to be the root install directory (where the binary and the public folder is located).
