## Installation on the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3

These are the special steps to install InfluxDB and Grafana on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, the older Raspberry Pi 1 is not suited due to it’s [ARMv6 architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Specifications).

The following steps expect a Debian/Raspbian Jessie based OS.

Before we can start, you need to install an apt extension for https capable repositories:

```shell
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

```

### InfluxDB

InfluxDB can be installed through the official repository. Add the key to your system, then add the repository as an apt source, then install influxdb:

```shell
wget -O - https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://repos.influxdata.com/debian jessie stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdb.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install influxdb

```

After the installation was successful you can enable (start on boot) and start influxdb as every other program:

```shell
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable influxdb.service
sudo systemctl start influxdb.service

```

Continue with the setup instructions in the first posting.

### Grafana

Grafana does not officially support the ARM architecture but binaries are provided by @fg2it. Thanks!

```shell
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/fg2it/deb jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana-fg2it.list 
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install grafana

```

Again, enable and start the program through systemctl:

```shell
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service
sudo systemctl start grafana-server.service

```

Continue with the setup steps in the first posting.

Good luck!
