so far: sudo openhabian-config. go to #24, install influxdb+grafana (it will tell to go to this post: [InfluxDB+Grafana persistence and graphing](https://community.openhab.org/t/13761/1) ) its asking me to install locally or use existing instance. no idea what to pick so i try the first one. Install locally. enter passwords for a few times. I enter all the same password for each of them. Shall influxDB be configured with Openhab? I select Yes downloading… Operation Succesful! OK. If this is all correct, how can we add this into the tutorial so that others can benefit from this as well?, [22:52:12] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ sudo openhabian-config 2018-12-25\_22:53:17\_EET [openHABian] Checking for root privileges… OK 2018-12-25\_22:53:17\_EET [openHABian] Loading configuration file ‘/etc/openhabian.conf’… OK 2018-12-25\_22:53:18\_EET [openHABian] openHABian configuration tool version: [master]v1.4.1-430(67ea550) 2018-12-25\_22:53:18\_EET [openHABian] Checking for changes in origin… OK 2018-12-25\_22:53:23\_EET [openHABian] Setting up InfluxDB and Grafana… Installing InfluxDB… $ apt -y install apt-transport-https Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done apt-transport-https is already the newest version (1.4.8). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. –2018-12-25 22:57:34-- [https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key](https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key) Resolving [repos.influxdata.com](http://repos.influxdata.com) ([repos.influxdata.com](http://repos.influxdata.com))… 2600:9000:2074:1200:7:7790:e740:93a1, 2600:9000:2074:7800:7:779 0:e740:93a1, 2600:9000:2074:ca00:7:7790:e740:93a1, … Connecting to [repos.influxdata.com](http://repos.influxdata.com) ([repos.influxdata.com](http://repos.influxdata.com))|2600:9000:2074:1200:7:7790:e740:93a1|:443… connected.
