Apache Airflow is an open-source platform used for orchestrating complex data workflows. It offers a powerful toolset for managing, scheduling, and monitoring workflows in a distributed environment. If you are a data engineer, scientist, or analyst, chances are you have heard of Airflow and its benefits. While installing Airflow on a Linux or macOS machine is relatively straightforward, it can be challenging to set up on Windows. Fortunately, with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can run Airflow on a Windows machine without any issues. In this blog post, we will guide you through installing Airflow locally on Windows using WSL. Let’s get Started!
We will use WSL to install the Ubuntu distribution package on our machine. Please go through the below steps to install WSL, Ubuntu, and Airflow.
