Airbnb Airflow: Installing Airflow without pip

Question

Is there a way to install Airflow without pip?

I am trying to install Airflow on a offline computer that does not have pip. I have downloaded the packages from the internet but I am not sure how to run the installation without pip.

Does anybody knows how to run an installation with 'setup.py'?

Answer 1

# /usr/bin/bash
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

If you get problems like the lack of setuptools you can install it (depending on your system, it usually a package. If you want to be sure to have everything download and later install the python-devel (sometimes also python-dev) package with your OS package manager) or you could use airflow via docker, you will build the image and then export it to the offline unit.
