# Install on macOS
|
|
|
|
This page explains how to install Grafana and get the service running on your macOS.
|
|
|
|
**Note on upgrading:** While the process for upgrading Grafana is very similar to installing Grafana, there are some key backup steps you should perform. Before you perform an upgrade, read [Upgrading Grafana]({{< relref "upgrading.md" >}}) for tips and guidance on updating an existing installation.
|
|
|
|
## Install with Homebrew
|
|
|
|
Use [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) to install the most recent released version of Grafana using Homebrew package.
|
|
|
|
1. On the Homberew homepage, search for Grafana. The last stable and released version is listed.
|
|
1. Open a terminal and enter:
|
|
```
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew install grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The brew page downloads and untars the files into `/usr/local/Cellar/grafana/version`.
|
|
|
|
1. Start Grafana using the command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew services start grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install standalone macOS binaries
|
|
|
|
To install a nightly build, or to install the latest version of Grafana without Homebrew, go to the [Grafana download page](https://grafana.com/grafana/download/7.3.0-381ff45epre?platform=mac).
|
|
|
|
1. Select the Grafana version you want to install. By default, the most recent released version is selected.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** The downloads page lists only finished releases. If you want to install a beta version, click [Nightly ] **Nightly Builds** and then select a version.
|
|
|
|
1. Select an **Edition**.
|
|
* **Open Source** - Functionally identical to the enterprise version, but you will need to download the enterprise version if you want enterprise features.
|
|
* **Enterprise** - Recommended download. Functionally identical to the open source version, but includes features you can unlock with a license if you so choose.
|
|
1. Click **Mac**.
|
|
1. Open a terminal and download the binary using the cURL command. The following example shows Grafana 7.1.5 version:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -O https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana-7.1.5.darwin-amd64.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
1. Untar the gz file and copy the files to the location of your preference.
|
|
1. To start Grafana service, go to the directory and run the command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/grafana-server web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Next steps

Also, refer to the [Configuration]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md" >}}) page for details on options for customizing your environment, logging, database, and so on.
