Installation ------------ Getting Airflow ''''''''''''''' Airflow is published as ``apache-airflow`` package in PyPI. Installing it however might be sometimes tricky because Airflow is a bit of both a library and application. Libraries usually keep their dependencies open and applications usually pin them, but we should do neither and both at the same time. We decided to keep our dependencies as open as possible (in ``setup.py``) so users can install different version of libraries if needed. This means that from time to time plain ``pip install apache-airflow`` will not work or will produce unusable Airflow installation. In order to have repeatable installation, however, starting from **Airflow 1.10.10** and updated in **Airflow 1.10.12** we also keep a set of "known-to-be-working" constraint files in the ``constraints-master`` and ``constraints-1-10`` orphan branches. Those "known-to-be-working" constraints are per major/minor python version. You can use them as constraint files when installing Airflow from PyPI. Note that you have to specify correct Airflow version and python versions in the URL. **Prerequisites** On Debian based Linux OS: .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential 1. Installing just airflow .. code-block:: bash pip install \ apache-airflow==1.10.12 \ --constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-1.10.12/constraints-3.7.txt" 2. Installing with extras (for example postgres, google) .. code-block:: bash pip install \ apache-airflow[postgres,google]==1.10.12 \ --constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-1.10.12/constraints-3.7.txt" You need certain system level requirements in order to install Airflow. Those are requirements that are known to be needed for Linux system (Tested on Ubuntu Buster LTS) : .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ freetds-bin \ krb5-user \ ldap-utils \ libffi6 \ libsasl2-2 \ libsasl2-modules \ libssl1.1 \ locales \ lsb-release \ sasl2-bin \ sqlite3 \ unixodbc You also need database client packages (Postgres or MySQL) if you want to use those databases. If the ``airflow`` command is not getting recognized (can happen on Windows when using WSL), then ensure that ``~/.local/bin`` is in your ``PATH`` environment variable, and add it in if necessary: .. code-block:: bash PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin Extra Packages '''''''''''''' The ``apache-airflow`` PyPI basic package only installs what's needed to get started. Subpackages can be installed depending on what will be useful in your environment. For instance, if you don't need connectivity with Postgres, you won't have to go through the trouble of installing the ``postgres-devel`` yum package, or whatever equivalent applies on the distribution you are using. Behind the scenes, Airflow does conditional imports of operators that require these extra dependencies. Here's the list of the subpackages and what they enable: **Fundamentals:**

If you're just experimenting and learning Airflow, you can stick with the default SQLite option. If you don't want to use SQLite, then take a look at :doc:`howto/initialize-database` to setup a different database. After configuration, you'll need to initialize the database before you can run tasks: .. code-block:: bash airflow db init
