Sorry to hear. 
As Denis said, Python software can be hard to install, especially software 
which uses large frameworks like Django. Resources for improving Graphite are 
limited and priorities are usually not in making installation easier and 
improving docs.  eg. My customers pay me for making Graphite run better on 
their systems, fixing bugs which affect them, developing custom features but 
not for writing documentation for others. If you have any suggestions in 
improving please let it know. I'm sure Denis is quite happy to merge pull 
requests on the docs.

Graphite 0.9.16 is available in the EPEL repository. Installation on CentOS 
should be not much more than: 
yum install -y epel-release && 
yum install -y graphite-web python-carbon
then run the commands from /usr/share/doc/graphite-web*/fedora.readme.

Running graphite 1.x on CentOS/RHEL is a bit harder due to RHEL's
conservative update policies. But if you want to run latest versions you
probably wouldn't be using RHEL anyway.


My personal experience with the docs is quite good actually. Make sure you read 
the docs for the version of graphite you are installing. 

> According it the instructions for pip if you are not doing a cutoms

magically work! well it doesn't

I think you missed the "initial configuration" part. The three pip
commands are enough for installation, but not for actually
starting/running it.
