Redash is an open-source platform that allows users to take control of their data and make high-performing charts and dashboards. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Redash on the latest version of Pop! OS.
Before we install Redash, we should make sure that all packages are up-to-date. Run the following commands to update the package manager and its packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, we need to install the dependencies required for Redash. We will install Python 2, Python 3 and the required pip modules.
Python 2
sudo apt-get install python2
Python 3
sudo apt-get install python3
Pip (to install the packages)
sudo apt-get install python-pip python3-pip
Redis and PostgreSQL are also required for Redash. Run the following commands to install them:
sudo apt-get install redis postgresql libpq-dev postgresql-client postgresql-client-common
To install Redash, we will use pip. Run the following commands to install Redash:
sudo pip install redash
After the installation, run the following command to start the Redash server:
redash --run
This will start the Redash server on the default port 5000.
To access Redash, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000. You should see the Redash login page. Login with the default credentials (email: admin@localhost, password: redash).
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Redash on the latest version of Pop! OS. You can now take control of your data and create high-performing dashboards and charts with Redash.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
