Technical requirements

Grafana is relatively easy to set up, but since it is a web server application, you will need to execute a few shell commands to get it running. For the purposes of this book, we will assume that you will access Grafana from the same computer that you installed it on. The following are the technical requirements for installing and running Grafana:

  • Familiarity with the command shell
  • A terminal application or an SSH to the machine where you plan to install Grafana
  • Docker (in order to run Grafana from a Docker container)

Optionally, you will need to have the following:

  • Administrator access to install and run Grafana from the command line, rather than in a Docker container
