Ready to try Apache Superset? This quickstart guide will help you get up and running on your local machine in 3 simple steps. Note that it assumes that you have Docker, Docker Compose, and Git installed.
:::caution
Although we recommend using Docker Compose for a quick start in a sandbox-type
environment and for other development-type use cases, we
do not recommend this setup for production. For this purpose please
refer to our
Installing on Kubernetes
page.
:::
git clone https://github.com/apache/superset
# Enter the repository you just cloned
$ cd superset
# Set the repo to the state associated with the latest official version
$ git checkout tags/6.0.0
# Fire up Superset using Docker Compose
$ docker compose -f docker-compose-image-tag.yml up
This may take a moment as Docker Compose will fetch the underlying container images and will load up some examples. Once all containers are downloaded and the output settles, you're ready to log in.
ā ļø If you get an error message like validating superset\docker-compose-image-tag.yml: services.superset-worker-beat.env_file.0 must be a string, you need to update your version of docker-compose.
Note that docker-compose is on the path to deprecation and you should now use docker compose instead.
Now head over to http://localhost:8088 and log in with the default created account:
username: admin
password: admin
Once you're done with Superset, you can stop and delete just like any other container environment:
docker compose down
:::tip
You can use the same environment more than once, as Superset will persist data locally. However, make sure to properly stop all
processes by running Docker Compose stop command. By doing so, you can avoid data corruption and/or loss of data.
