There are no dependencies, Grafana is a client side application that runs in your browser. It only needs a time series store where it can fetch metrics. If you use InfluxDB Grafana can use it to store dashboards. If you use Graphite or OpenTSDB you can use Elasticsearch to store dashboards or just use json files stored on disk.

Head to grafana.org and download the latest release.

Then follow the quick setup & config guide. If you have any problems please read the troubleshooting guide.

Be sure to read the getting started guide and the other feature guides.

Grafana uses nodejs and grunt for asset management (css & javascript), unit test runner and javascript syntax verification.

• clone repository
• install nodejs
• npm install (in project root)
• npm install -g grunt-cli
• grunt (runt default task that will generate css files)
• grunt build (creates optimized & minified release)
• grunt release (same as grunt build but will also create tar & zip package)
• grunt test (executes jshint and unit tests)

If you have any idea for an improvement or found a bug do not hesitate to open an issue. And if you have time clone this repo and submit a pull request and help me make Grafana the kickass metrics & devops dashboard we all dream about!

Before creating a pull request be sure that "grunt test" runs without any style or unit test errors, also please sign the CLA
