    Installing Graphite:
    -------------------

    **Graphite does two things*:

    1. Store numeric time-series data
    2. Render graphs of this data on demand

    What Graphite does not do is collect data for you, however there are some [tools](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/1.0/tools.html) out there that know how to send data to graphite. Even though it often requires a little code, [sending data](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/1.0/feeding-carbon.html) to Graphite is very simple.

    how to send data to graphite. Even though it often requires a little code,
    [sending data](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/1.0/feeding-carbon.html) to
    Graphite is very simple.

    Architecture:
    ============

    Graphite consists of 3 software components:

    * carbon - a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
    * whisper - a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)
    * graphite webapp - A Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo

    ```

    Install whisper, as both Carbon and Graphite require it
    Ubuntu:

    ```
    wget https://launchpad.net/graphite/0.9/0.9.10/+download/whisper-0.9.10.tar.gz
    tar zxf whisper-0.9.10.tar.gz

    cd ..
    apt-get install python-cairo python-twisted python-django python-django-tagging python-ldap \
    python-memcache python-sqlite python-simplejson python-txamqp ca-certificates
    ```

    Install carbon
    Download and extract packages:

    easy_install django-tagging==0.3.1
    easy_install twisted==11.1.0
    easy_install txamqp==0.4
    ```

    Install graphite webapp
    Install webapp (this requires djando-tagging)

    ```
    wget https://launchpad.net/graphite/0.9/0.9.10/+download/graphite-web-0.9.10.tar.gz
    tar zxf graphite-web-0.9.10.tar.gz
    cd graphite-web-0.9.10/
    ./check-dependencies.py
    cd /opt/graphite-web-0.9.12
    python setup.py install # subscribe to untar webapp
    ```

    once all dependencies are met...
    Install carbon (this requires twisted)

    ```
    sudo python2.6 setup.py install
    cd /opt/carbon-0.9.12
    python setup.py install
    ```

    This will install whisper as a site package and carbon and graphite will be installed into `/opt/graphite`
    Install whisper (this requires twisted)

    ```
    cd /opt/whisper-0.9.12
    python setup.py install

    Graphite does two things:

    1. Store numeric time-series data
    2. Render graphs of this data on demand

    What Graphite does not do is collect data for you, however there are some [tools](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/1.0/tools.html) out there that know how to send data to graphite. Even though it often requires a little code, [sending data](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/1.0/feeding-carbon.html) to Graphite is very simple.

    Architecture:

    Graphite consists of 3 software components:

    * carbon - a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
    * whisper - a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)
    * graphite webapp - A Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo

    Installing dependencies:

    ```
    curl -o epel.rpm -L http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$(arch)/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
    yum install gcc zlib-devel curl curl-devel openssl rpm-build gcc-c++ rpm-build python python-ldap python-memcached python-sqlite2 pycairo python-twisted Django python-django-tagging bitmap bitmap-fonts python-devel glibc-devel gcc-c++ openssl-devel python-zope-interface httpd memcached mod_wsgi wget
    ```

    Install whisper, as both Carbon and Graphite require it

    ```
    wget https://launchpad.net/graphite/0.9/0.9.10/+download/whisper-0.9.10.tar.gz
    tar zxf whisper-0.9.10.tar.gz
    cd whisper-0.9.10/
    sudo python2.6 setup.py install
    cd ..
    ```

    Install carbon

    ````
    wget https://launchpad.net/graphite/0.9/0.9.10/+download/carbon-0.9.10.tar.gz
    tar zxf carbon-0.9.10.tar.gz
    cd carbon-0.9.10/
    sudo python2.6 setup.py install
    cd ..
    ```
    Install graphite webapp
    ```
    wget https://launchpad.net/graphite/0.9/0.9.10/+download/graphite-web-0.9.10.tar.gz
    tar zxf graphite-web-0.9.10.tar.gz
    cd graphite-web-0.9.10/
    ./check-dependencies.py
    ```
    once all dependencies are met...
    ```
    sudo python2.6 setup.py install
    ```
    This will install whisper as a site package and carbon and graphite will be installed into `/opt/graphite`
    Configuring:
    ```
    cd /opt/graphite/conf/
    cp graphite.wsgi.example graphite.wsgi
    cp storage-schemas.conf.example storage-schemas.conf
    cp carbon.conf.example carbon.conf
    cd ../webapp/graphite
    cp local_settings.py.example local_settings.py
    ```
    Uncomment the database engine in `local_settings.py` and then initialize the database by running the following command
    ```
    python /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/manage.py syncdb
    ```
    Configuring httpd and wsgi:
    ```
    cat > /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf <<EOF
    LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
    WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi
    EOF
