prometheus-prebuilt

Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. Since its inception in 2012, many companies and organizations have adopted Prometheus, and the project has a very active developer and user community. It is now a standalone open source project and maintained independently of any company. ~ https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/#what-is-prometheus
Installation
Download and install the latest build of prometheus for your OS and add it to
your projects package.json:
npm install prometheus-prebuilt --save-dev
This is the preferred way to use prometheus, as it doesn't require users to install prometheus globally.
You can also use the -g flag (global) to symlink it into your PATH:
npm install -g prometheus-prebuilt
Now you can just run prometheus to run prometheus:
$ prometheus --help
usage: prometheus [<args>]
-version false
Print version information.
-config.file "prometheus.yml"
Prometheus configuration file name.
...
