[salah34145]

Bug description

Hello everyone,

I am new to Apache Superset and trying to install it locally on my Windows machine using PyPI, but I am facing many issues and cannot get it to work.

I would like to know:

1. What are the recommended versions of Python and Node.js that work well with Apache Superset?

2. Are there specific configurations or dependencies I need to set up to ensure a smooth installation?

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Installed Python and Node.js.

2. Ran the command: pip install apache-superset.

3. Tried initializing Superset using superset fab create-admin and superset db upgrade, but encountered the following

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or links to documentation that can help me resolve this issue.

Thank you in advance!

Checklist

• I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
• I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
• I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

Windows is officially supported, largely because none of the Committers/PMC have Windows machines, and the folks who are running it on Windows (and are somehow successful in the effort) don't seem to be contributing to the docs for some reason. Thereore we won't consider this a bug/Issue, but I'll move it over to Discussions.

@salah34145 Hello there! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions related to Apache Superset. Let's tackle this together!

For installing Apache Superset on Windows, the recommended versions are Python 3.10 and Node.js 18.x. Additionally, there are specific configurations and dependencies you should consider:

• Install the necessary dependencies such as build-essential, libssl-dev, libffi-dev, python3-dev, libsasl2-dev, libldap2-dev, libxi-dev, and chromium.
• Use npm ci and npm run build for building the frontend.
• Upgrade setuptools and pip, and install the required Python packages from requirements/base.txt ^[1][2].

There is a similar open issue regarding installation problems on Windows using PyPI, but no solution has been found in the comments yet ^[3].
