I just setup a Graphite server on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).
Here are some instructions for getting it all working (using Apache as web server).
It follows these steps:
- install system dependencies (apache, django, dev libs, etc)
- install Whisper (db lib)
- install and configure Carbon (data aggregator)
- install Graphite (django webapp)
- configure Apache (http server)
- create initial database
- start Carbon (data aggregator)
Once that is done, you should be able to visit the host in your web browser and see the Graphite UI.

That was really useful, thank you.
A small remark: in the first step, you write to 'apt-get install libapache2', which is not an existing package.
Hi,
thanks for posting this , it was really helpful.
Two issues I found (on a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04)
1) libapache2 isn't found
2) If you use pip to install graphite-web, the examples folder isn't found for the subsequent step. I had to use the second option, manual install from tar.
Great work!
graphite 0.9.10 is out
In your first command you need backslashes '\' instead of forward-slashes '/' to continue a single line. Thanks for the walkthrough!
Great guide. This should be on the graphite web site.
