Getting Started

The next iteration of GlareDB is under heavy development, and while we've started shipping pre-built binaries and Python bindings, expect things to evolve quickly. Read more about what's to come.

You can now get started with GlareDB by installing either the Python package or the standalone CLI:

CLI

To use the GlareDB CLI, download the latest release from the Releases Page.

Choose the appropriate binary for your platform, make it executable, and run it from your terminal.

Making the binary executable is required as GitHub release artifacts do not preserve that information. Run chmod +x <path> where path is the path to the binary you downloaded.

An installation script will automate this process in the future.

Python

Install the GlareDB Python package via pip:

pip install glaredb

Once installed, you can start using GlareDB directly from Python.

GlareDB in the Browser

The embedded terminal on glaredb.com provides a fully functional instance of GlareDB running entirely inside your browser. You can use this to query remote files including hosted csv files, parquet files in s3, and much more.
