# Install Grafana

## Grafana

Grafana provides all dashboard functionality. Dashboards are displayed using Grafana's user interface, and query for data from Prometheus.

### Install Supporting Software

Install the supporting software we may need.

```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common wget
```

### Install Grafana

Install the key for authenticating Grafana packages.

```bash
wget -q -O - https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
```

This command may generate a warning about `apt-key` being deprecated. That is not a problem.

Add the Grafana repository to the list of external repositories and update the package list.

```bash
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main"
```

The `add-apt-repository` command may also generate a warning about `apt-key` being deprecated.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stakelocal.io/dashboard-installation/install-supporting-software/install-grafana.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
