python on Snow Leopard doesn't seem to come with the development headers, so we need to address that, since pycairo needs them.
$ brew install python
- edit the PATH to have /usr/local/share/python at the start
- open a new shell to recognise the new PATH
- install cairo as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6886578/how-to-install-pycairo-1-10-on-mac-osx-with-default-python
- I do --use-gcc since it doesn't work with LLVM / LLVM-based GCC.
$ brew install cairo --use-gcc
$ wget http://cairographics.org/releases/py2cairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2
$ tar xjf py2cairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2
$ pushd py2cairo-1.10.0
$ emacs wscript
$ export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.10.2/lib/pkgconfig/
$ python waf configure
$ python waf build
$ python waf install
Now install python dependencies
$ pip install django
$ pip install django-tagging
$ pip install twisted
$ pushd path/to/graphite/
$ pushd whisper
$ python setup.py install
$ popd
$ pushd carbon
$ python setup.py install
$ popd
$ python check-dependencies.py
$ python setup.py install
$ pushd /opt/graphite/webapp
$ export PYTHON_PATH=${PYTHON_PATH}:/opt/graphite/webapp
$ pushd graphite
$ python manage.py syncdb
Grabbed this file and put it in /opt/graphite/bin. That means I don't need to setup apache httpd locally.
$ wget https://raw.github.com/tmm1/graphite/d0f76a659f4f2dea67f19902002710f601f534aa/bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py
$ python /opt/graphite/bin/carbon-cache.py start
$ python /opt/graphite/bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py /opt/graphite
Browse to http://localhost:8080/ and I have a graphite webapp running
$ python path/to/graphite/examples/example-client.py
I now have a script putting data into graphite. Might want to tweak local_settings.py (make it Europe/London, for example), and conf/carbon.conf to have reasonable retention periods / file sizes for the whisper data files.
