Installing InfluxDB without root access

Is it possible to install InfluxDB without root access on Ubuntu 14.04?

There seem to be two ways to install InfluXDB:

Compiling from sources is quite involved and requires a number of packages to be pre-installed.

I tried to install the deb package without root access, but I couldn't before. Is there a way to install InfluDB without root access on Ubuntu?

You can try the binary archive which you can find on the download page . After extracting the contents, you will find a daemon named influxdb

in the root directory of the archive. You will need to modify the config file config.toml

to set the paths to the log file, data directory, etc. After that, you can start influxdb by simply running ./influxdb

from the directory where you extracted the archive. If you have further questions, you can send your questions to the mailing list to contact us on irc (details can be found on the page)
