How to install Druid on Windows 10

Druid is a distributed, real-time analytics data store that was developed at Metamarkets to allow users to break down data sets into smaller subsets for faster and more efficient analysis. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Druid on your Windows 10 machine.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your machine:

First, download the latest Druid release from the official website: https://druid.io/downloads.html

Unzip the package to a location of your choice.

Step 2: Configure Druid

Druid requires some initial configuration to run. Navigate to the Druid directory and open the following files:

Edit the druid.host property and set it to localhost.

conf/druid/single-server/coordinator/runtime.properties

Step 3: Build and start Druid

Open a command prompt and navigate to the Druid directory.

To build Druid, run:

mvn clean install -DskipTests
