To solve the dependencies for graphite, I had to add:

sudo apt-get install python-django-tagging
sudo apt-get install python-twisted

Still had a warning about txamqp not being installed.

Thanks for this.

Still had a warning about txamqp not being installed.

Same. Is this an issue?

amqp is an optional component for graphite. It is used for data acquisition. Typically data is received via pickle or raw socket.

Would be nice to update this installation for 0.9.10.

i had to add

git clone git://github.com/graphite-project/ceres.git
cd ceres/
sudo python setup.py install

to get this working on ubuntu 11.10

while running the same on vagrant for Ubuntu 12.04 faced the problem where had to change the owner for the files to apache

Target WSGI script '/opt/graphite/conf/graphite.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module.
If you see this error, make sure that apache owns the directory

Fix :
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/graphite

To install the 0.9.9 version make sure you're using django 1.3.1

I have started apache and carbon but not getting any GUI from my browser
