Installation

Question 1

how to install prometheus on my local machine?

Answer 1

• visit Prometheus web site, get the link to proper installer,
• install wget if you don’t have it already: brew install wget,
• wget -c -O - | tar xz
  legend:
  -c -> it will continue automatically if sth goes wrong
  -O - -> I don’t know hat this means
  | tar xz -> pipe it to tar , x for extract, z for gz (qzip)
• go to installation folder
• type: ./prometheus –config.file=prometheus.yml
• localhost:9090
