====Running Grafana as a Daemon====

If you've installed [[welcome|Grafana]] using the Ubuntu/Debian package manager, everything is already installed - you simply need to enable the service.

Type the following commands...

<code>
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start grafana-server
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server
</code>

This both enables the Grafana service, and sets it to start up as a background daemon automatically on system startup.
