Setup for the Tutorial#

Welcome to the Dagster tutorial! Before we get started, we need to install Dagster on our machine.

Python and pip#

We’ll assume that you have some familiarity with Python, but you should be able to follow along even if you’re coming from a different programming language. To check that Python and the pip package manager are already installed in your environment or install them, you can follow the instructions here.

Dagster and Dagit#

If you haven't already, please read about our Installation page.

pip install dagster dagit

This installs two modules:

• Dagster: the core programming model and abstraction stack; stateless, single-node, single-process and multi-process execution engines; and a CLI tool for driving those engines.
• Dagit: the UI for developing and operating Dagster pipelines, including a DAG browser, a type-aware config editor, and a live execution interface.

You can also follow our "Hello Word" example to make sure you have installed the packages and set up the environment properly.
