New question #101875 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/101875

I'm having trouble trying to install graphite...

The install guide (http://graphite.wikidot.com/installation) conflicts with the INSTALL file, saying to run install.py which doesn't exist, and even the INSTALL file is saying to run check-dependencies.py which doesn't exist! Or I couldn't find it anyway! So I'm following INSTALL but with out knowing if I have all dependencies.

I've gotten to syncing the db and now I'm getting this error:
$ sudo python manage.py syncdb
Could not import graphite.local_settings, using defaults!
Error: Can't find the file 'settings.py' in the directory containing 'manage.py'. It appears you've customized things.
You'll have to run django-admin.py, passing it your settings module.
(If the file settings.py does indeed exist, it's causing an ImportError somehow.)

setting.py and graphite.local_settings.py both exist!

This thread looks similar, but not quite the same, https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/100045 , but I have no idea what sys.path is!  

I am familiar with Linux and quite a few programming languages, but not python.  I usually don't have a problem following an install doc, but both of these seem flawed at step 1! 

Am I missing the latest docs or something? Are there any good installation guides (for Ubuntu)? Or could someone help with this error? 

Thanks.
