Installing From Pip¶
Versioned Graphite releases can be installed via pip. When installing with pip, Installation of dependencies will automatically be attempted.
Installing in the Default Location¶
To install Graphite in the default location, /opt/graphite/, simply execute as root:
pip install whisper
pip install carbon
pip install graphite-web
Note
On RedHat-based systems using the python-pip package, the pip executable is named pip-python
Installing Carbon in a Custom Location¶
Installation of Carbon in a custom location with pip is similar to doing so from a source install. Arguments to the underlying setup.py controlling installation location can be passed through pip with the --install-option option.
See Installing Carbon in a Custom Location for details of locations and available arguments
For example, to install everything in /srv/graphite/:
pip install carbon --install-option="--prefix=/srv/graphite" --install-option="--install-lib=/srv/graphite/lib"
To install Carbon into the system-wide site-packages directory with scripts in /usr/bin and storage and configuration in /usr/share/graphite:
pip install carbon --install-option="--install-scripts=/usr/bin" --install-option="--install-lib=/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages" --install-option="--install-data=/var/lib/graphite"
Installing Graphite-web in a Custom Location¶
Installation of Graphite-web in a custom location with pip is similar to doing so from a source install. Arguments to the underlying setup.py controlling installation location can be passed through pip with the --install-option option.
See Installing Graphite-web in a Custom Location for details on default locations and available arguments
For example, to install everything in /srv/graphite/:
pip install graphite-web --install-option="--prefix=/srv/graphite" --install-option="--install-lib=/srv/graphite/webapp"
To install the Graphite-web code into the system-wide site-packages directory with scripts in /usr/bin and storage configuration, and content in /usr/share/graphite:
pip install graphite-web --install-option="--install-scripts=/usr/bin" install-option="--install-lib=/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages" --install-option="--install-data=/var/lib/graphite"
