The zip file contains a folder with the current Grafana version. Extract this folder to anywhere you want Grafana to run from.
|
2015-04-21 19:30:15 +08:00
|
|
|
Go into the `conf` directory and copy `sample.ini` to `custom.ini`. You should edit `custom.ini`, never `defaults.ini`.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The default Grafana port is `3000`, this port requires extra permissions on windows. Edit `custom.ini` and uncomment the `http_port`
|
|
|
|
|
configuration option and change it to something like `8080` or similar. That port should not require extra Windows privileges.

|
|
|
Start Grafana by executing `grafana-server.exe`, preferably from the command line. If you want to run Grafana as
|
|
|
|
|
windows service, download [NSSM](https://nssm.cc/). It is very easy add Grafana as a Windows service using that tool.

The Grafana backend includes Sqlite3 which requires GCC to compile. So in order to compile Grafana on Windows you need
|
2015-04-19 15:44:14 +08:00
|
|
|
to install GCC. We recommend [TDM-GCC](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download).

|

|
|
|
Copy `conf/sample.ini` to a file named `conf/custom.ini` and change the web server port to something like 8080. The default
|
|
|
|
|
Grafana port, 3000, requires special privileges on Windows.
