[attibalazs]

Hi,

I`m using windows 7 64bit, and following the instructions from your install guide: http://airbnb.io/caravel/installation.html

I run into an error when i try to start the server
python caravel runserver -p 8088

Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

As written in the documentation windows is not a supported platform. As you have found out gunicorn does not work on windows. My advice would be to install it on a linux machine. Or you can use the development web server which of course is not advised to run in production.

ok, thanks

I could avoid this error on windos env by using debug mode options.

superset runserver -d

@nekia How exactly did you get it running??

[nekia]

@naveenjafer As far as my quick check, every example dashboard (Misc Charts/Births/World's Bank Data) seems to be running properly.

@nekia what I meant is, where do I set these debug mode options? I am new to gunicorn. Thanks

[nekia]

@naveenjafer I just put '-d' option with runserver command for using development web server ( starting web server in debug mode) as I mentioned https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/1235#issuecomment-342367627 .

$ superset runserver -?
