Datawrapper is increasingly becoming a popular choice, particularly among media organizations which frequently use it to create charts and present statistics. It has a simple, clear interface that makes it very easy to upload csv data and create straightforward charts, and also maps, that can quickly be embedded into reports.

Installing Datawrapper Prerequisites Apache (with mod_rewrite and .htaccess enabled) PHP > 5.2 MySQL server

Basic setup

Clone the Datawrapper repository to your server or download and unpack the repository as ZIP file. If Composer is not installed on your server, download and install it into the Datawrapper directory using curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php. Run php composer.phar install and grunt to download third-party libraries used by Datawrapper. Configure a new domain for your Datawrapper instance, for instance by adding a virtual host in your Apache config (e.g. http://datawrapper.local). The domain must point to /www in the Datawrapper repository. Make sure to also add the new domain to your hosts file.

Configure a second virtual host for the Datawrapper charts, which are designed to be hosted separately from Datawrapper. You can setup the hostname http://chart.datawrapper.local and point it to /charts/static. Later you can reach your local charts at http://chart.datawrapper.local/chart_id/. Create the configuration file by copying config.yaml.template to config.yaml, edit the file, and change domain and chart_domain and the email addresses. Make sure the web server process has write access to the following directories: charts/static charts/data charts/data/tmp charts/images vendor/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer

Create a new MySQL database Create a new MySQL database. Initialize the table schema using /lib/core/build/sql/schema.sql. Copy lib/core/build/conf/datawrapper-conf.php.master to lib/core/build/conf/datawrapper-conf.php and update your database settings (dbname, user, password) according to your server configuration. Install the core plugins by running php scripts/plugin.php install "*". Open the Datawrapper domain in a web browser. You should now see something like "You have successfully installed Datawrapper.".

No code or design skills required. The way from data to a beautiful chart is shorter than you think.

1 Copy & Paste your data Simply copy your data from Excel or Google Sheets. You can also upload CSV files or link to an URL for live-updating charts
