# Building Grafana from source
|
|
|
|
This guide will help you create packages from source and get grafana up and running in
|
|
dev environment. Grafana ships with its own required backend server; also completely open-source. It's written in [Go](http://golang.org) and has a full [HTTP API](/v2.1/reference/http_api/).
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- [Go 1.7](https://golang.org/dl/)
|
|
- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/download/)
|
|
|
|
## Get Code
|
|
Create a directory for the project and set your path accordingly. Then download and install Grafana into your $GOPATH directory
|
|
```
|
|
export GOPATH=`pwd`
|
|
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building the backend
|
|
```
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
|
|
go run build.go setup
|
|
go run build.go build # (or 'go build ./pkg/cmd/grafana-server')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Building on Windows
|
|
The Grafana backend includes Sqlite3 which requires GCC to compile. So in order to compile Grafana on windows you need
|
|
to install GCC. We recommend [TDM-GCC](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download).
|
|
|
|
## Build the Front-end Assets
|
|
|
|
To build less to css for the frontend you will need a recent version of node (v0.12.0),
|
|
npm (v2.5.0) and grunt (v0.4.5). Run the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm install -g grunt-cli
|
|
grunt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Recompile backend on source change
|
|
To rebuild on source change
|
|
```
|
|
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
|
|
bra run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running Grafana Locally
|
|
You can run a local instance of Grafana by running:
|
|
```
|
|
./bin/grafana-server
|
|
```
|
|
If you built the binary with `go run build.go build`, run `./bin/grafana-server`
|
|
|
|
If you built it with `go build .`, run `./grafana`
|
|
|
|
Open grafana in your browser (default [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)) and login with admin user (default user/pass = admin/admin).
|
|
|
|
## Developing for Grafana
|
|
To add features, customize your config, etc, you'll need to rebuild on source change.
|
|
```
|
|
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
|
|
|
|
bra run
|
|
```
|
|
You'll also need to run `grunt watch` to watch for changes to the front-end.
|
|
|
|
## Creating optimized release packages
|
|
This step builds linux packages and requires that fpm is installed. Install fpm via `gem install fpm`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go run build.go build package
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Dev config
|
|
|
|
Create a custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options.
|
|
You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
|
|
|
|
1. grafana.ini
|
|
2. custom.ini
|
|
|
|
Learn more about Grafana config options in the [Configuration section](/installation/configuration/)
|
|
|
|
## Create a pull requests
|
|
Please contribute to the Grafana project and submit a pull request! Build new features, write or update documentation, fix bugs and generally make Grafana even more awesome.
