  1. Run airflow web server 

    airflow standalone

    This prints the auto-generated admin password directly in the terminal — copy it down. This command blocks the terminal it runs in (it's now your Airflow scheduler, dag processor, and API server), so leave it running and do all further steps in a new terminal window or tab.

  2. Access the airflow UI. Visit http://localhost:8080 in the browser and log in with the admin account details shown in the terminal. Airflow Password !!! note Standalone Airflow serves the UI over plain HTTP by default — use http://localhost:8080.
