Can you please refer me to right documentation about Influx DB Setup and Getting started with any basic examples?

I just started exploring Influx DB. Couldn’t find any good documentation around this?

Thanks for you help.

If you ask me, the documentation about influxDB is a pain in the ass.  
Hard to find what you look for, sometimes it doesn’t even exist i think.

What language are you planning to use ? Or what client ?

[InfluxDB Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.3/)

You will probably find more specific tutorials / documentation with the client API you will use.  
Check the [InfluxData github repository](https://github.com/influxdata) to find what client exist.  
Generally, most indluxdb-language are clients (such as influxdc-Go or influxdb-java)
