hello everyone! I tried using docker following guidance from https://docs.meltano.com/guide/installation-guide/ My project was successfully created, I went to the my project folder. Then, when I tried to do

meltano --version

, it said

meltano: command not found

. Can you please help me?

You have to use docker for every command if you want to do the docker install route! So it'd be

docker run -v "$(pwd)":/projects \
             -w /projects \
             meltano/meltano --version

Probably easier to alias that if you want to run it all the time 🤷

ah I got it now ahaha

I liked pipx, now I like uv a lot so I"d go with

uv tool install meltano

got it, I'll spend the night playing meltano

Welcome to the club!

hello again. I tried using tap-postgres. Here's what I have in meltano.yml

version: 1
default_environment: dev
project_id: 7409e173-e451-467c-8c6f-fc0a8b099177
environments:
- name: dev
- name: staging
- name: prod
plugins:
  extractors:
  - name: tap-postgres
    variant: meltanolabs
    pip_url: git+<https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-postgres.git>
    config:
      database: pagila
      host: myhost
      user: user
      password: password
      port: 26527

It's not working. Here's the error message

Plugin configuration is invalid
(Background on this error at: <https://sqlalche.me/e/20/f405>)

I made sure all the variables are correct by trying to connect to this db using DBeaver and it's just fine using DBeaver. Anything I missed out?

maybe see the output of

meltano select tap-postgres --list --all

. You might wanna select some streams.

thanks!

Personally I don't use the test command often I set it up then maybe run

meltano invoke tap-postgres

to be sure some data is flowing

thanks @visch
