We want to use version 1.6.0 and have to install it by running:

wget http://ftp.?.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rrdtool/python-rrdtool_1.6.0-1+b2_amd64.deb
wget http://ftp.?.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rrdtool/librrd8_1.6.0-1+b2_amd64.deb
wget http://ftp.?.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng1.6/libpng16-16_1.6.28-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i libpng16-16_1.6.28-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i librrd8_1.6.0-1+b2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i python-rrdtool_1.6.0-1+b2_amd64.deb

Because pip supports only version 1.4.7. Is there a reason for that, that we should take into consideration?

Thanks!

There seem to be 2 packages on pypi - rrdtool & python-rrdtool. The latter (one you are probably using) seems like an old & abandoned library, hence the version.

  • There's this issue with rrdtool: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41046222/error-when-python-pip-install-rrdtool-on-windows-7 (on ubuntu as well) – oligopol Apr 17 '17 at 09:35

    I found that I have to run this: 'sudo apt-get install librrd-dev libpython-dev' before running 'pip install rrdtool' and it seem to work (source: http://pythonhosted.org/rrdtool/install.html#debian-ubuntu). Thanks! – oligopol Apr 18 '17 at 08:19
