Step 3: Install InfluxDB
You can install InfluxDB using Homebrew:

Step 4: Start InfluxDB
Start the InfluxDB service using Homebrew services:

brew services start influxdb
Alternatively, you can start InfluxDB manually:

influxd

Step 5: Verify Installation
You can verify that InfluxDB is running by checking its status:
