在Windows上安装Airflow

Question

I want to install an airflow worker on a windows machine.

I've pip installed it and then copied the airflow folder from a linux install however this has sent me down a rabbit hole of errors! Cygwin was briefly mentioned in the airflow google groups (see here ) however I am not sure about the robustness of installing everything and keeping it running an emulator?

How to setup an airflow worker in widows: can it be natively installed or should a *nix emulator be used instead?

Answer 1

1st) install pip

2nd) install airflow

with pip install airflow

Answer 2

As of 2018, Airflow should be running on Unix or Linux. if you want to install it on windows machine, probably use a VM as what I did.
