Do not use it in production. We recommend using the latest stable version of SQLite for local development. **Note**: Airflow currently can be run on POSIX-compliant Operating Systems. For development, it is regularly tested on fairly modern Linux Distros and recent versions of macOS. On Windows you can run it via WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2) or via Linux Containers. The work to add Windows support is tracked via [#10388](https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/10388), but it is not a high priority. You should only use Linux-based distros as "Production" execution environment as this is the only environment that is supported. The only distro that is used in our CI tests and that is used in the [Community managed DockerHub image](https://hub.docker.com/p/apache/airflow) is `Debian Bookworm`. --- ## Getting started Visit the official Airflow website documentation (latest **stable** release) for help with [installing Airflow](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/installation/), [getting started](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/start.html), or walking through a more complete [tutorial](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/tutorial/). > Note: If you're looking for documentation for the main branch (latest development branch): you can find it on [s.apache.org/airflow-docs](https://s.apache.org/airflow-docs/). For more information on Airflow Improvement Proposals (AIPs), visit the [Airflow Wiki](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/Airflow+Improvement+Proposals). Documentation for dependent projects like provider distributions, Docker image, Helm Chart, you'll find it in [the documentation index](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/). --- ## Installation For comprehensive instructions on setting up your local development environment and installing Apache Airflow, please refer to the [INSTALLING.md](INSTALLING.md) file. ``` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/apache-airflow`](/api/graphcanon/tools/apache-airflow) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
