This guide shows how to download a DQOps release package that is available as a .zip package on GitHub. You can set up your DQOps installation for your needs.

Prerequisites

To use DQOps you need:

To confirm that you have Python installed run the following command

python --version

To view the Python 3 version, run python3 --version instead.

  • Ability to install Python packages with pip.

To confirm that you have pip installed run the following command

pip --version

Current version of pip should be displayed.

  • Installed JDK software (version 17) and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

To confirm that Java is installed on your system, please run this command:

java --version

A Java version should be displayed. If the above command shows 'java' is not recognized, it means Java is not installed or the path is not properly set.

To ensure that the JAVA_HOME environmental variables are properly set, please run the following command:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

Installation

  1. Create an empty catalogue.

  2. Download zipped source code archive from DQOps GitHub releases.

    You can learn how to download the source code archives in GitHub Docs.

  6. Login to DQOps Cloud.

    To use DQOps features, such as storing data quality definitions and results in the cloud or data quality dashboards, you must create a DQOps cloud account.

    Once the DQOps user home folder is initialized, DQOps will ask you to log in to your DQOps Cloud account.

    Log in to DQOps Cloud

    After typing Y, you will be redirected to https://cloud.dqops.com/registration, where you can create a new account, use Google single sign-on (SSO) or log in if you already have an account.

    During the first registration, a unique identification code (API Key) will be generated and automatically passed to the DQOps application. The API Key is now stored in the configuration file.
