if you get an error about an incompatible version of node, install nvm then run nvm use in the terminal session

this kinda depends on how you install/run grafana, but here's how i have it set up:

i installed grafana via brew and use brew services start grafana to run it.

my /usr/local/etc/grafana/grafana.ini has the following entry:

plugins = /Users/mrazvi/workspace/grafana-status-chart

then use yarn watch, or one of the other compilation commands as appropriate. the first time you build, you may need to restart grafana; subsequent builds should update automatically.

NOTE: this applies only to to pivotal/vmware environments

(you might want to pause the relevant pipeline job so your changes arent unexpectedly overriden)

yarn lint
yarn build
pcf-target hw-pas26 # or whatever
boshd p-healthwatch2-* scp --recursive dist grafana:/tmp
boshd p-healthwatch2-* ssh grafana
sudo -i
mkdir --parents /var/vcap/packages/grafana_plugins/status-chart # if necessary
cp -r /tmp/dist /var/vcap/packages/grafana_plugins/status-chart
monit restart grafana && watch monit summary # cancel watch when it's ready
