# Installing on Windows

Latest stable package for Windows | [x64](https://grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=windows)

|
Read [Upgrading Grafana]({{< relref "upgrading.md" >}}) for tips and guidance on updating an existing
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
## Configure
|
|
|
|
**Important:** After you've downloaded the zip file and before extracting it, make sure to open properties for that file (right-click Properties) and check the `unblock` checkbox and `Ok`.
|
|
|
|
The zip file contains a folder with the current Grafana version. Extract
|
|
this folder to anywhere you want Grafana to run from. Go into the
|
|
`conf` directory and copy `sample.ini` to `custom.ini`. You should edit
|
|
`custom.ini`, never `defaults.ini`.
|
|
|
|
The default Grafana port is `3000`, this port requires extra permissions
|
|
on Windows. Edit `custom.ini` and uncomment the `http_port`
|
|
configuration option (`;` is the comment character in ini files) and change it to something like `8080` or similar.
|
|
That port should not require extra Windows privileges.
|
|
|
|
Default login and password `admin`/ `admin`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start Grafana by executing `grafana-server.exe`, located in the `bin` directory, preferably from the
|
|
command line. If you want to run Grafana as Windows service, download
|
|
[NSSM](https://nssm.cc/). It is very easy to add Grafana as a Windows
|
|
service using that tool.
|
|
|
|
Read more about the [configuration options]({{< relref "configuration.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Logging in for the first time
|
|
|
|
To run Grafana open your browser and go to the port you configured above, e.g. http://localhost:8080/.
|
|
Then follow the instructions [here]({{< relref "../guides/getting_started/" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Building on Windows
|
|
|
|
The Grafana backend includes Sqlite3 which requires GCC to compile. So
|
|
in order to compile Grafana on Windows you need to install GCC. We
|
|
recommend [TDM-GCC](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download).
