Hello Meltano Team, Trying to setup Meltano as docker container. Initialized the project following the instructions on Meltano website. Got stuck at meltano: command not found, while trying to create a tap Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated. Thanks

@harsha_aleti Welcome! Can you share the exact command you ran that resulted in that error message?

$ meltano add extractor tap-csv -bash: meltano: command not found

@harsha_aleti If you've not installed the

meltano

CLI locally, but have instead pulled the

meltano/meltano

Docker image, you'll want to always run Meltano using

docker run meltano/meltano <args>

, instead of calling

meltano <args>

directly. I now realize that that's not quite clear from https://meltano.com/docs/getting-started.html#docker-installation. I'll add a note there.

Thank you for the response. It worked after I added the command to mount the project directory. Looks like I need to input the command "docker run -v $(pwd):/project -w /project meltano/meltano <args>" every time when I want to invoke meltano command

@harsha_aleti Yep, if you're using the Docker image that's the way to go. You can of course define an alias for

docker run -v $(pwd):/project -w /project meltano/meltano

to save you a copy-and-paste headache 🙂

I just did that. Thank you once again.
