How to Install Redash on Windows 11

Redash is a popular open-source business intelligence solution that enables users to query various databases and visualize data in interactive dashboards. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Redash on a Windows 11 machine.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Open Command Prompt as an administrator and execute the following command to install the required dependencies:

pip install virtualenv

Step 2: Clone Redash Repository

Next, clone the Redash repository to your local machine by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/getredash/redash.git

This will download the Redash source code to your machine.

Step 3: Create Virtual Environment

Create a new virtual environment for Redash by running the following two commands:

cd redash
virtualenv venv

This will create a new virtual environment named venv inside the redash directory.

Step 4: Activate Virtual Environment

To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:

.\venv\Scripts\activate

This will activate the virtual environment.

Step 5: Install Required Python Packages

Before installing the required Python packages, create a new file named requirements_all_ds.txt inside the redash/requirements/ directory and paste the following code:

-c requirements.txt
-c requirements_dev.txt
-c requirements_ds.txt

Then, run the following command to install the required Python packages:

pip install -r .\requirements\requirements_all_ds.txt

This will install all the required Python packages.

Step 6: Set Redash Environment Variables

Create a new file named .env inside the redash directory and paste the following environment variables:

REDASH_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://redash:@localhost/redash"
REDASH_COOKIE_SECRET="my_secret_key"
REDASH_SECRET_KEY="my_secret_key"

Make sure to update the database credentials according to your setup.

Step 7: Initialize Database

Run the following command to create tables in the Redash database:

python manage.py database create_tables

This will initialize the Redash database with all the necessary tables.

Step 8: Start Redash Server

To start the Redash server, run the following command:

python manage.py runserver

This will start the Redash server on http://localhost:5000/.
