I tried installing Airflow locally to just play around with it and make sense of what it's good for and finally gave up after a few days - the install alone is insanely complicated, with lots of tricky hidden dependencies.
- always_left 4y agoDid you try installing with docker? You would just download docker, `docker-compose up --build` and you'll be good to go locally (usually)
- idleprocess 4y agoI can second this. We were up-and-running with Docker on our dev machines in just a few minutes. A native installation involves substantially more setup (Python, databases, Redis and/or Rabbit, etc.). The published docker-compose file will handle all of that for you. We have a very small data engineering team and have been able to move very quickly with Docker and AWS ECS (for orchestrating containers in test and prod environments).
- flowair 4y agodownload the astronomer CLI and it will spin up a local dockerized instance of airflow in about 1 minute tops https://docs.astronomer.io/astro/install-cli https://docs.astronomer.io/astro/install-cli
