All commands should be run as root or through sudo.

## Install the Java Runtime from repository

```shell
apt-get install default-jre-headless wget
```


## Download and Install InfluxDB

```shell
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb_1.8.10_amd64.deb
dpkg -i influxdb_1.8.10_amd64.deb
systemctl daemon-reload

```

## Download and Install Grafana

dpkg -i grafana_9.1.7_amd64.deb

When logged in to Grafana (port 3000, admin/admin) create a datasource that points to the local InfluxDB. Now import the provided dashboards.


## Download and Install HMCi

[Download](https://git.data.coop/nellemann/-/packages/generic/hmci/) the latest version of HMCi packaged for deb.

```shell
wget https://git.data.coop/api/packages/nellemann/generic/hmci/v1.4.2/hmci_1.4.2-1_all.deb
dpkg -i hmci_1.4.2-1_all.deb
cp /opt/hmci/doc/hmci.toml /etc/
cp /opt/hmci/doc/hmci.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable hmci
```

Now modify **/etc/hmci.toml** (edit URL and credentials to your HMCs) and test the setup by running ```/opt/hmci/bin/hmci -d``` in the foreground/terminal and look for any errors. Press CTRL+C to stop and then start as a background service with ```systemctl start hmci```. You can see the log/output by running ```journalctl -f -u hmci```.
