How to install meltano in ubuntu?

For development, having Python 3 (and possibly some system-level dependencies like

gcc

) and doing

pip3 install meltano

should do it! I'd also recommend installing meltano inside a virtual environment or even better using pipx will handle that for you. Let me know if you get stuck 😄

Hi @amit_gupta +1 to Edgar's comments, ubuntu is my desktop OS of choice and can confirm its all going to work. Couple of other little gotcha's. • use python 3.8 as dbt currently has an issue on 3.9 (https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/2822 Snowflake dependency) • I use pyenv to manage the virtual environments, but imagine pipx should work too.

if you are using LXD and Juju in Ubuntu.. there is a charm written for meltano to get started as well https://gitlab.com/jrgemcp-public/charms/meltano-superset-postgres-bundle-charm

@aaron_phethean it looks like that python3.9 issue is closed, and i haven't had any issues with dbt on 3.9. just curious if you have? i just made the switch the other day and it has caused ... other ... problems, but not with dbt

Hrrm. Yes, bumped into it the other day. Maybe because of the 0.19.1 version of dbt with meltano.
