#Install superset in Python environment

#Ideally run these commands sequentially ...

# :: Create directory to host the files

mkdir D:\superset

cd /d D:\superset

# :: Check Versions

python --version

pip --version

# :: Upgrade Setuptools & PIP

pip install --upgrade setuptools pip

# :: Create Virtual Environment named venv

python -m venv venv

# :: Activate Virtual Environment

venv\Scripts\activate

# :: Workaround - Install PIP within Virtual Environment

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py --ssl-no-revoke

python get-pip.py

# :: Workaround - Upgrade Setuptools & PIP within venv

pip install --upgrade setuptools pip

# :: Install Superset

pip install apache-superset

## If this shows python-geohash error then we have to manually add the

library to D:\superset\venv\Lib\site-packages
## geohash.py, python_geohash-0.8.5.dist-info

# :: Install SQLAlchemy (optional) (**preferably the latest version**) in case the

above step shows any warning or error related to SQLAlchemy

pip install SQLAlchemy==1.3.24

# :: Install DB Drivers - Postgres & MS SQL

pip install psycopg2

pip install pymssql

# :: Open Scripts folder to do superset related stuff

cd venv\Scripts

# :: Create application database

python superset db upgrade

# If this step shows error, then check the installed packages and it should
list superset

pip freeze

# above command will list all the python packages installed and we should
see superset listed. If superset not listed then

pip install superset

and then

python superset db upgrade

# :: Create admin user

set FLASK_APP=superset

flask fab create-admin

# :: Use the below credentials:

# :: We use User name as admin because superset load_examples works only when the
user name is admin and nothing else

User name: admin

First name: admin
Last name: superset
Email: admin@gmail.org
Pwd: Admin@123

# :: Load some data to play with (optional)

python superset load_examples

# :: Create default roles and permissions

python superset init

# :: Start web server on port 8088

python superset run -p 8088 --with-threads --reload --debugger

#If the above command is successful. You will get a host link which can be used to
launch Superset--
