Technical requirements

Grafana is relatively easy to set up, but since it is a web server application, you will need to run a few 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 oran SSH to the machine where you plan to install Grafana
  • Docker (in order to run Grafana from a Docker container)
  • Optionally, you will have the Administrator access to install and run Grafana from the command line, rather than in a Docker container

Tutorial code, dashboards, and other helpful files for this chapter can be found in the book's GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Grafana-7.0/tree/master/Chapter01.
