Apache Superset Installation in MacOS and Ubuntu 22.04

For Ubuntu 22.04

OS Dependencies

Superset stores database connection information in its metadata database.

For that purpose, we use the cryptography Python library to encrypt
connection passwords. Unfortunately, this library has OS level
dependencies.

To Install Dependencies type below command in Ubuntu 22.04 and Press

Enter.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-

dev default-libmysqlclient-dev

Create and Activate Python Virtual Environment by typing these two

commands in MacOS and Ubuntu 22.04

Python -m vent supersetvenv
