[Apache Superset] Topic #1, What is Apache Superset used for and how to install it on Windows 11

Hello, I'm Duc (Duke) and I'm back
Today I will introduce to everyone about Apache Superset.
So, what's Apache Superset?

Apache Superset

Apache Superset is an open-source platform for data exploration and visualization was created to offer a strong, intuitive user interface for building interactive dashboards and reports

Apache Superset benefits include being...

1. Extensible and open source: Superset is community-driven and open source, being a part of the Apache Software Foundation. It is extensible and adaptable to certain business needs without requiring license payments.
2. Simple-to-Use Interface: Users may create dashboards and charts using the platform's extremely user-friendly drag-and-drop interface without having to write complicated SQL queries or code.
3. Smooth Data Connectivity: Superset is a flexible solution for businesses with a range of data sources since it can interface with a large number of databases and data warehouses, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, and others.
4. Security Features: To secure sensitive data, Apache Superset has strong security features like role-based access control (RBAC), authentication choices, and fine-grained permissions.

All things considered, Apache Superset is a cutting-edge, adaptable, and scalable business intelligence platform that gives users the resources they need to easily and interactively extract meaningful insights from complicated data.

Okay, let's get to it!

Set up Ubuntu machine Install the Git Install Docker

So we have completed the configuration and system setup steps, now let's move on to the installation and launch of Apache Superset

Now let's run the following commands one by one

git clone --branch 4.0.2 --depth 1 https://github.com/apache/superset.git
cd superset
sudo docker compose up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install Superset

The process is complete, now you access localhost:8088 with

username: admin
password: admin
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and congratulations, you have successfully installed and launched Apache Superset in Windows 11 with the help of WSL2

.... and stay tuned for the next post, I'll talk about the Superset architecture!
