Thanks for the link to dev-guide. I missed it because I was looking for instructions for standalone installation and skipped "developer guide" thinking it might be about dev docs about source code org and stuff.

Sorry if my response sounded like a snarky comment or a rant. That was not my intention. I can only thank you for an open source project and do not feel entitled for anything.

I ended up using Docker compose to get started with redash on my Mac. But, I cringe on the inside every time I am forced to use Docker (a daemon with higher privileges) to run stuff from the Internet, and it runs Postgres, Redis, a linux kernel, and so much more for essentially running a Flask application.

Now that I know redash fits my needs, I will spend the time needed to read the docker compose file and trace those steps and assemble the pieces necessary to run redash directly on my Linux server without Docker.

Thanks for redash!

Actually it didn't. All good :)

Glad to hear it fits! Note that if all you need is Postgres support, don't bother with installing requirements_all_ds.txt and you can skip some of the system packages we install.

Maybe this forum thread will be helpful: https://discuss.redash.io/t/bring-back-bootstrap-sh/2436/12.
