# INSTALL / BUILD instructions for Apache Airflow
This ia a generic installation method that requires a number of dependencies to be installed.
Depending on your system you might need different prerequisites, but the following
systems/prerequisites are known to work:
Linux (Debian Buster and Linux Mint Tricia):
sudo apt install build-essentials python3.6-dev python3.7-dev python-dev openssl \
sqlite sqlite-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev libmysqld-dev postgresq
MacOS (Mojave/Catalina):
brew install sqlite mysql postgresql
# [required] fetch the tarball and untar the source move into the directory that was untarred.
# [optional] run Apache RAT (release audit tool) to validate license headers
# RAT docs here: https://creadur.apache.org/rat/. Requires Java and Apache Rat
java -jar apache-rat.jar -E ./.rat-excludes -d .
# [optional] Airflow pulls in quite a lot of dependencies in order
# to connect to other services. You might want to test or run Airflow
# from a virtual env to make sure those dependencies are separated
# from your system wide versions
python3 -m venv PATH_TO_YOUR_VENV
source PATH_TO_YOUR_VENV/bin/activate
NOTE!!
On November 2020, new version of PIP (20.3) has been released with a new, 2020 resolver. This resolver
does not yet work with Apache Airflow and might leads to errors in installation - depends on your choice
of extras. In order to install Airflow you need to either downgrade pip to version 20.2.4
``pip upgrade --pip==20.2.4`` or, in case you use Pip 20.3, you need to add option
``--use-deprecated legacy-resolver`` to your pip install command.
# [required] building and installing by pip (preferred)
pip install .
# or directly
python setup.py install
# You can also install recommended version of the dependencies by using
# constraint-python<PYTHON_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION>.txt files as constraint file. This is needed in case
# you have problems with installing the current requirements from PyPI.
# There are different constraint files for different python versions. For example"
pip install . \
--constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-master/constraints-3.6.txt"
By default `pip install` in Airflow 2.0 installs only the provider packages that are needed by the extras,
however if you want to install all providers (which was default behaviour in 1.10.*)
you can do it by setting environment variable INSTALL_PROVIDERS_FROM_SOURCES to `true`.
INSTALL_PROVIDERS_FROM_SOURCES="true" pip install . \
--constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-master/constraints-3.6.txt"
You can also install airflow in "editable mode" (with -e) flag and then provider packages will be
available, because they are used directly from the airflow sources:
pip install -e . \
--constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-master/constraints-3.6.txt"
