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** we also keep a set of
"known-to-be-working" requirement files in the ``requirements`` folder. Those "known-to-be-working"
requirements are per major/minor python version (3.6/3.7). 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.
1. Installing just airflow
.. code-block:: bash
pip install \
apache-airflow==1.10.10 \
--constraint \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/1.10.10/requirements/requirements-python3.7.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) :
2. Installing with extras (for example postgres, gcp)
.. code-block:: bash
pip install \
apache-airflow[postgres,gcp]==1.10.10 \
--constraint \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/1.10.10/requirements/requirements-python3.7.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:

Initializing Airflow Database
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Airflow requires a database to be initialized before you can run tasks. 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 initdb
