Installing Superset from Scratch
In Ubuntu 20.04 the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-pip libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev
Python Virtual Environment
We highly recommend installing Superset inside of a virtual environment.
pip install virtualenv
You can create and activate a virtual environment using:
# virtualenv is shipped in Python 3.6+ as venv instead of pyvenv.
# See https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/venv.html
python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
# See https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/venv.html
python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
Installing and Initializing Superset
First, start by installing apache-superset:
pip install apache-superset
Then, you need to initialize the database:
superset db upgrade
Finish installing by running through the following commands:
# Create an admin user (you will be prompted to set a username, first and last name before setting a password)
$export FLASK_APP=superset
superset fab create-admin
Username [admin]: admin
User first name [admin]: Bigdata #Enter your first name as per your information I have choose Bigdata
User last name [user]: Engineer #Enter your last nace as per your information I have choose Engineer
Email [admin@fab.org]: admin@bigdataengineer.com
Password: [Enter Password]
Repeat for confirmation:
Recognized Database Authentications.
Admin User admin created.
# Load some data to play with
superset load_examples
# Create default roles and permissions
superset init
# To start a development web server on port 8088, use -p to bind to another port
superset run -p 8088 --with-threads --reload --debugger
$export FLASK_APP=superset
superset fab create-admin
Username [admin]: admin
User first name [admin]: Bigdata #Enter your first name as per your information I have choose Bigdata
User last name [user]: Engineer #Enter your last nace as per your information I have choose Engineer
Email [admin@fab.org]: admin@bigdataengineer.com
Password: [Enter Password]
Repeat for confirmation:
Recognized Database Authentications.
Admin User admin created.
# Load some data to play with
superset load_examples
# Create default roles and permissions
superset init
# To start a development web server on port 8088, use -p to bind to another port
superset run -p 8088 --with-threads --reload --debugger
If everything worked, you should be able to navigate to hostname:port in your browser (e.g. locally by default at localhost:8088) and login using the username and password you created
