# Install on Debian or Ubuntu
This page explains how to install Grafana dependencies, download and install Grafana, get the service up and running on your system, and the package details.
This page explains how to install Grafana dependencies, download and install Grafana, get the service up and running on your Debian or Ubuntu system, and the installation package details.
**Note on upgrading:** While the process for upgrading Grafana is very similar to installing Grafana, there are some key backup steps you should perform. Read [Upgrading Grafana]({{< relref "upgrading.md" >}}) for tips and guidance on updating an existing installation.
## 1. Download and install
We recommend that you run all the listed commands before you download and install Grafana. They might not be necessary on all systems, but if you run them first then you will not be interrupted by dependency errors.
You can install Grafana using our official APT repository, by downloading a `.deb` package, or by downloading a binary `.tar.gz` file.
You can install Grafana using our official APT repository, by downloading a `.deb` package, or by using a binary `.tar.gz` file.
### Install from APT repository
On some older versions of Ubuntu and Debian you may need to install the `apt-transport-https` package which is needed to fetch packages over HTTPS.
If you install from the APT repository, then Grafana is automatically updated every time you run `apt-get update`.
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
```
The APT repository installs the open source edition of Grafana.
Install any missing dependencies:
#### To install the latest stable release:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common wget
```
Add our GPG key to install signed packages:
```bash
wget -q -O - https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
```
Add this repository for stable releases:
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grafana
```
Add this repository if you want beta releases:
#### To install the latest beta release:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common wget
wget -q -O - https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb beta main"
```
Update your APT repositories and install Grafana:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grafana
```

### Install .deb package
Go to the [Linux download page](https://grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=linux) for the latest download links.
If you install the `.deb` package, then you will need to manually update Grafana for each new version.
If you use ARM, then use the [ARM download page](https://grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=arm) for the latest download links.
1. On the [Grafana download page](https://grafana.com/grafana/download), select the Grafana version you want to install.
* The most recent Grafana version is selected by default.
* The **Version** field displays only finished releases. If you want to install a beta version, click **Nightly Builds** and then select a version.
1. Select an **Edition**.
* **Enterprise** - Recommended download. Functionally identical to the open source version, but includes features you can unlock with a license if you so choose.
* **Open Source** - Functionally identical to the enterprise version, but you will need to download the enterprise version if you want enterprise features.
1. Depending on which system you are running, click **Linux** or **ARM**.
1. Copy and paste the code from the installation page into your command line and run. It follows the pattern shown below.
```bash
sudo wget <.deb package url>
sudo apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1
sudo dpkg -i grafana_<version>_amd64.deb
wget <.deb package url>
sudo dpkg -i grafana<edition>_<version>_amd64.deb

Download the latest [`.tar.gz` file](https://grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=linux) and extract it. The files extract into a folder named after the Grafana version that you downloaded. This folder contains all files required to run Grafana. There are no init scripts or install scripts in this package.
