How to Install Superset on Fedora Server Latest

Apache Superset is an open-source data visualization platform that lets users create interactive dashboards and visualizations. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Superset on a Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before installing Superset, ensure the following:

  • You have a Fedora Server Latest installed
  • Your server has internet connectivity
  • You have a non-root user with sudo privileges

Installation Steps

  1. Update your system

Update your Fedora server by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

  1. Install required dependencies

Superset requires several system-level dependencies, including Python, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Install the dependencies using the following command:

sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ python3-devel postgresql-server postgresql-devel redis -y

  1. Create a PostgreSQL database

Superset uses PostgreSQL as its backend database. Let's create a database and user for Superset to use:

sudo postgresql-setup --initdb

sudo systemctl enable postgresql

sudo systemctl start postgresql

sudo su - postgres

psql

CREATE USER superset WITH PASSWORD 'strongpassword';

CREATE DATABASE superset;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE superset TO superset;

\q

exit

  1. Install Superset

Install Superset using pip, the Python package manager:

sudo pip3 install apache-superset

  1. Initialize Superset

Initialize Superset by running the following command:

export FLASK_APP=superset && superset db upgrade

  1. Create an admin user

Create an admin user that you can use to log in to Superset:

export FLASK_APP=superset && superset fab create-admin

  1. Start Superset

Finally, start the Superset server by running the following command:

superset run -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8088 --with-threads --reload --debugger

You should now be able to access Superset by visiting your server's IP address on port 8088 (e.g., http://server_ip_address:8088).

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to install Superset on Fedora Server Latest. We also created a PostgreSQL database and user, initialized Superset, created an admin user, and started the Superset server. You can now start creating interactive dashboards and visualizations using Superset.
