Get started

This tutorial is a step by step guide that will help you install Rill, ingest source data, and deploy a dashboard online.

Install Rill​

Install rill on Mac or Linux (WSL for Windows users) using the installation script:

curl -s https://cdn.rilldata.com/install.sh | bash

Create your project​

Start a new Rill project:

rill start my-rill-project

The Rill web app runs locally at http://localhost:9009 and will create code files in the my-rill-project directory.

Load and transform data​

On the welcome screen, initialize an example project or load up Rill with your own data. Use the app to develop data models and dashboards.

Deploy your dashboard​

You can deploy any Rill project with a dashboard to an authenticated hosted endpoint:

  1. Create a new Github repository on https://github.com/new and push your my-rill-project directory to it
  2. Setup continuous deployment from Github to Rill Cloud:
    cd my-rill-project
    rill deploy

Share your dashboard​

Projects on Rill Cloud are private by default. To invite others to explore your project, run:

rill user add
