Drift is a powerful, open-source data processing and analysis framework that is used for a wide range of applications. Installing Drift on Windows 10 is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps.
Before you start the installation process, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
You can check if Git is already installed on your system by typing git --version in the command prompt. If Git is not installed, you can download and install it from the official website: https://git-scm.com/downloads.
Open the command prompt by pressing the Windows key + R, then type cmd and press enter.
Navigate to the directory where you want to install Drift by typing the following command:
cd <your-directory-path>
Clone the Drift repository from GitHub by typing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MaxLeiter/drift.git
Once the download is finished, navigate into the Drift directory by typing the following command:
cd drift
Next, create a virtual environment for Drift by typing:
python -m venv venv
Activate the virtual environment by typing:
venv\Scripts\activate
Once the virtual environment is active, install the required packages by typing:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Finally, start the Drift server by typing:
python manage.py runserver
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Drift on your Windows 10 machine. You can now start using the powerful data processing and analysis capabilities of Drift for your projects.
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!
