Install Pinot

info

In this guide you'll learn how to install Apache Pinot on your local machine.

Pinot can be installed directly on your machine from a binary file or using the Brew package manager. It is also available via Docker. Instructions for each option are described below:

With Docker​

Install Docker by following the instructions on docs.docker.com/get-docker. Once you've done that, you can pull the Docker image onto your machine by running the following command:

docker pull apachepinot/pinot:0.12.0

Or if you're using a Mac M1, add the -arm64 suffix:

docker pull apachepinot/pinot:0.12.0-arm64

With Brew​

Pinot can also be installed on Mac OS using the Brew package manager. For instructions on installing Brew, see the Brew documentation.

brew install pinot

With Launcher Scripts​

Download the latest binary release from pinot.apache.org/download or run the following command from the terminal:

Download Pinot
PINOT_VERSION=0.12.0
wget https://downloads.apache.org/pinot/apache-pinot-$PINOT_VERSION/apache-pinot-$PINOT_VERSION-bin.tar.gz
caution

Pinot requires JDK11 or higher (JDK16 is not yet supported).

Once you have the tar file:

Untar it
tar -zxvf apache-pinot-$PINOT_VERSION-bin.tar.gz
Navigate to directory containing launcher scripts
cd apache-pinot-$PINOT_VERSION-bin

Next Steps​

You've now got Pinot installed on your machine and the next step is to try it out.

  • To see an example of all the Pinot components running in a single process with a pre-loaded dataset, see the Quick Start guide.
  • To create a local cluster, with each Pinot component running separately, see the Create Cluster guide.
