Prerequisites

StreamPipes is a modern web application, therefore you need Chrome (recommended) or Firefox to test it.

Supported operating systems

We rely on Docker and support three operating systems for the StreamPipes system

  • Linux
  • OSX
  • Windows 10
    • Please note that older Windows versions are not compatible with Docker. Also Linux VMs under Windows might not work, due to network problems with docker.

Installation

You need to have Docker installed on your system before you continue with the installation guide.

Install StreamPipes

We provide a script to install, stop, and start StreamPipes.

The installer is available in two different versions, one to run StreamPipes on your laptop and another big data version which is intended to be run on a more powerful computer or server. In the desktop version, only a limited amount of processors is available to ensure that the system also runs with less memory.

  1. Clone or download the installer script from https://www.github.com/streampipes/streampipes-installer
  2. Execute ./streampipes start to run a lightweight StreamPipes version with few pipelines elements (not including Big Data frameworks) or start the full version (16GB RAM recommended) by executing ./streampipes start bigdata
  3. Open your browser, navigate to http://YOUR_HOSTNAME_HERE and follow the installation instructions.
  4. Once finished, switch to the pipeline editor and start the interactive tour or check the online tour to learn how to create your first pipeline!

After installing it, open your browser and navigate to localhost.

Now you can continue with the tutorial on page Getting Started.
