# Run OpenMetadata

## Run Docker

[Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/) is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications that enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly using OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites**

* Docker >= 20.10.x
* Minimum allocated memory to Docker >= 4GB  \(Preferences -> Advanced -> Resources\)
{% endhint %}

```bash
git clone https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata
cd OpenMetadata/docker/metadata
docker-compose up
```

### Next Steps

1. Docker for OpenMetadata will depend on Mysql Container to be up, It may take few seconds to run.
2. Once OpenMetadata UI is accessible, Go to Scheduler UI -[ http://localhost:7777](http://localhost:7777), to invoke the pipelines to ingest data. 

![Scheduler UI \(http://localhost:7777\)](../.gitbook/assets/localhost_7777_.png)

![Invoking a Pipeline for Ingestion](../.gitbook/assets/localhost_7777_-1-.png)

The above command brings up all the necessary services

1. MySQL
2. ElasticSearch
3. OpenMetadata Sever
4. Ingestion with SimpleScheduler

To access the OpenMetadata

Open [http://localhost:8585](http://localhost:8585) in your browser

Scheduler UI available at [http://localhost:7777](http://localhost:7777)

This is a quick start guide that will show you how to quickly start a standalone server.
{% endhint %}

### Build from source or download the distribution

**Prerequisites**

{% hint style="info" %}
OpenMetadata is built using Java, DropWizard, Jetty, and MySQL.

1. Java 11 or above
2. MySQL 8 or above
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Download the release" %}
Download the latest binary release from [OpenMetadata](https://open-metadata.org/download/), Once you have the tar file,

```bash
# untar it
tar -zxvf openmetadata-0.3.0.tar.gz

# navigate to directory containing the launcher scripts
cd openmetadata-0.3.0
```
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Build from source " %}
Follow these steps to checkout code from [Github](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata) and build OpenMetadata locally

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites**

Install [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/install.html) 3.6 or higher
{% endhint %}

```bash
# checkout OpenMetadata
git clone https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata
cd OpenMetadata

# build OpenMetadata
mvn install package -DskipTests

# navigate to directory containing the setup scripts
cd dist/target/
tar -zxvf openmetadata-0.3.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz
cd openmetadata-0.3.0-SNAPSHOT
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Install on your local machine

#### macOS

1. Setup Database
   * Install MySQL

     ```text
      brew install mysql
     ```

   * Configure MySQL

     ```text
     mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpassword'
     mysql -u root -p
     ```

   * Setup Database

     ```text
     mysql -u root -p
     CREATE DATABASE openmetadata_db;
     CREATE USER 'openmetadata_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'openmetadata_password';
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openmetadata_db.* TO 'openmetadata_user'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
     commit;
     ```
2. Run bootstrap scripts to initiate the database and tables

   ```text
      cd openmetadata-0.3.0
      ./bootstrap/bootstrap_storage.sh migrate
   ```

3. Start the OpenMetadata Server

   ```text
      cd openmetadata-0.3.0 
      ./bin/openmetadata.sh start
   ```

### Ingest Sample Data

Previous steps start OpenMetadata server. To start using it we need to run ElasticSearch and ingest sample metadata. Please follow the below guide

[Ingest Sample Data](metadata-ingestion/ingest-sample-data.md)
