Apache Superset is an open-source analytical tool, similar to PowerBI, used to build powerful dashboards with user-friendly visualizations.

Installation Steps

To execute Docker commands, a user with sudo privileges is required. If the root user is accessible, there is no need to add the ‘sudo’ instruction.

Clone Superset GitHub repository and navigate to the folder.

git clone --depth=1  https://github.com/apache/superset.git
cd superset/

Run the following command to specify the Superset version to download.
```
export TAG=4.0.2
```

Modify Superset’s configuration file before building the Docker containers.

Go to superset/docker/pythonpath_dev

Replace the file superset_config.py with the following configuration:
