# Install on Windows
You can either download the Windows installer package or a standalone Windows binary file.
Read [Upgrading Grafana]({{< relref "../upgrade-grafana/" >}}) for tips and guidance on updating an existing
installation.
1. Navigate to [Download Grafana](https://grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=windows).
1. Select a Grafana version you want to install.
- The most recent Grafana version is selected by default.
- The **Version** field displays only finished releases. If you want to install a beta version, click **Nightly Builds** and then select a version.
1. Select an **Edition**.
- **Enterprise** - Recommended download. Functionally identical to the open source version, but includes features you can unlock with a license if you so choose.
- **Open Source** - Functionally identical to the enterprise version, but you will need to download the enterprise version if you want enterprise features.
1. Click **Windows**.
You can either use the Windows installer or you can install a standalone Windows binary.
## Install with Windows installer (recommended)
1. Click **Download the installer**.
1. Open and run the installer.
To run Grafana, open your browser and go to the Grafana port (http://localhost:3000/ is default) and then follow the instructions in [Getting Started]({{< relref "../../getting-started/build-first-dashboard/" >}}).
## Install standalone Windows binary
1. Click **Download the zip file**.
**Important:** After you've downloaded the zip file and before extracting it, make sure to open the properties for that file (right-click **Properties**) and select the `unblock` check box and then click `Ok`.
1. Extract this folder to anywhere you want Grafana to run from.
1. Start Grafana by executing `grafana-server.exe`, located in the `bin` directory, preferably from the command line. If you want to run Grafana as a Windows service, then download
[NSSM](https://nssm.cc/). It is very easy to add Grafana as a Windows service using that tool.
To run Grafana, open your browser and go to the Grafana port (http://localhost:3000/ is default) and then follow the instructions in [Getting Started]({{< relref "../../getting-started/build-first-dashboard/" >}}).
> **Note:** The default Grafana port is `3000`. This port might require extra permissions on Windows. If it does not appear in the default port, you can try changing to a different port.
>
> 1. Go into the `conf` directory and copy `sample.ini` to `custom.ini`. **Note:** You should edit `custom.ini`, never `defaults.ini`.
> 1. Edit `custom.ini` and uncomment the `http_port` configuration option (`;` is the comment character in ini files) and change it to something like `8080` or similar. That port should not require extra Windows privileges.
> Read more about the [configuration options]({{< relref "../configure-grafana/" >}}).
