Set up initial database without creating a superuser

sudo python /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/manage.py syncdb
sudo chown -R apache:apache /opt/graphite/storage/

Create a superuser

sudo python /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/manage.py createsuperuser stats

Setup init.d for carbon

sudo wget -O /etc/init.d/carbon https://gist.github.com/raw/3652720/6978bda604c794e21165a81c6b879528d19e8bb4/carbon.init.sh
sudo chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/carbon
sudo chkconfig --add carbon

Start apache and carbon

sudo /opt/graphite/bin/carbon-cache.py start
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start

Install nodejs

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://nodejs.tchol.org/repocfg/amzn1/nodejs-stable-release.noarch.rpm   
sudo yum install nodejs-compat-symlinks npm

Install statsd

cd /opt
sudo git clone git://github.com/etsy/statsd.git
cd statsd
sudo cp exampleConfig.js local.js

Setup init.d for statsd

sudo wget -O /etc/init.d/statsd https://raw.github.com/gist/3652720/133360ea52d3ea9b5ab8c7110d67cb47cddab8cd/statsd.init.sh

Just a quick note for anyone else, the syncdb command is deprecated in favor of migrate --run-syncdb.

sudo python /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/manage.py migrate --run-syncdb
