Airbyte Open Source

To deploy a local instance of Airbyte Core, Airbyte's open source product, you need to install: * Docker Desktop on your machine (Mac, Windows, Linux).

abctl, Airbyte's command line tool for deploying and managing Airbyte. It can be installed for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

There are several ways to run Airbyte on your machine. You can run it locally, over HTTP, and even in low resource mode. In this example, we run Airbyte Open Source locally using Docker Desktop.

While keeping Docker Desktop running, open a terminal and run the following command to install Airbyte.
```
abctl local install
```

Note

Installation may take up to 30 minutes depending on your internet connection. When it completes, the Airbyte instance opens up in your web browser at http://localhost:8000.

In the opened http://localhost:8000 page, enter your Email and Organization name, then click Get started.

Specify your preferences

To access your Airbyte instance, you need a password.

Asking for credentials

To get the credentials, enter the following command in the terminal.

bash abctl local credentials

Airbyte credentials

Enter the password you got from the terminal, as shown in the previous image, in the browser to log into Airbyte. Once Airbyte Open Source is launched for the first time, you will see a connections dashboard.
