${ME} <installer options>

Valid <installer options> are:

   --install /PATH/TO/INSTALL

        If your give: --install /opt
        netdata will be installed in /opt/netdata

   --dont-start-it

        Do not (re)start netdata.
        Just install it.

   --dont-wait

        Do not wait for the user to press ENTER.
        Start immediately building it.

   --zlib-is-really-here

        If you get errors about missing zlib,
        but you know it is available,
        you have a broken pkg-config.
        Use this option to allow it continue
        without checking pkg-config.

Netdata will by default be compiled with gcc optimization -O3
If you need to pass different CFLAGS, use something like this:

  CFLAGS="<gcc options>" $ME <installer options>

For the installer to complete successfully, you will need
these packages installed:

   gcc make autoconf automake pkg-config zlib1g-dev

For the plugins, you will at least need:

   curl node

Welcome to netdata!
Nice to see you are giving it a try!

You are about to build and install netdata to your system.

It will be installed at these locations:

  - the daemon    at ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/sbin/netdata
  - config files  at ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/etc/netdata
  - web files     at ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/share/web/netdata
  - plugins       at ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/netdata
  - cache files   at ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/var/cache/netdata
  - log files     at ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/var/log/netdata

This installer allows you to change the installation path.
Press Control-C and run the same command with --help for help.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry! NetData failed to build...

You many need to check these:

1. The package zlib1g-dev has to be installed.

2. You need basic build tools installed, like:

   gcc make autoconf automake pkg-config

3. If your system cannot find ZLIB, although it is installed
   run me with the option:  --zlib-is-really-here

If you still cannot get it to build, ask for help at github:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok. NetData is installed and is running.

Hit http://localhost:${NETDATA_PORT}/ from your browser.

To stop netdata, just kill it, with:

  killall netdata

To start it, just run it:

  ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/sbin/netdata

Enjoy!
