Running Pinot locally

This quick start guide will help you bootstrap a Pinot standalone instance on your local machine.
In this guide you'll learn how to download and install Apache Pinot as a standalone instance.
This is a quickstart guide that will show you how to quickly start an example recipe in a standalone instance and is meant for learning. To run Pinot in cluster mode, please take a look at Manual cluster setup.
Download Apache Pinot
First, let's download the Pinot distribution for this tutorial. You can either build the distribution from source or download a packaged release.
 Prerequisites 
Install JDK8 or higher.
# define the pinot version 
PINOT_VERSION=0.6.0
Build from source or download the distribution
Build from source 
Download the release
Build from source 
​
Follow these steps to checkout code from Github and build Pinot locally
 Prerequisites 
Install Apache Maven 3.6 or higher
# checkout pinot
git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot.git
cd incubator-pinot
​
# build pinot
mvn install package -DskipTests -Pbin-dist
​
# navigate to directory containing the setup scripts
cd pinot-distribution/target/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin
Note that Pinot scripts is located under pinot-distribution/target not target directory under root.
Download the release
​
Download the latest binary release from Apache Pinot, or use this command 
wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/pinot/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin.tar.gz
Once you have the tar file,
# untar it
tar -zxvf apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin.tar.gz
​
# navigate to directory containing the launcher scripts
cd apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin
Setting up a Pinot cluster
We'll be using the quick-start scripts provided along with pinot distribution, which do the following:
Set up the Pinot cluster QuickStartCluster
Create a sample table and load sample data
The following quick start scripts are available -
Batch
Batch quick start creates the pinot cluster, creates an offline table baseballStats and pushes sample offline data to the table.
bin/quick-start-batch.sh
That's it! We've spun up a Pinot cluster. You can continue playing with other types of quick start, or simply head on to Pinot Data Explorer to check out the data in the baseballStats table.
Streaming
Streaming quick start sets up a Kafka cluster and pushes sample data to a Kafka topic. Then, it creates the Pinot cluster and creates a realtime table meetupRSVP which ingests data from the Kafka topic.
# stop previous quick start cluster, if any
bin/quick-start-streaming.sh
We now have a Pinot cluster with a realtime table! You can head over to  Pinot Data Explorer to check out the data in the meetupRSVP table.
Hybrid
Hybrid quick start sets up a Kafka cluster and pushes sample data to a Kafka topic. Then, it creates the Pinot cluster and creates a hybrid table airlineStats . The realtime table ingests data from the Kafka topic. Lastly, sample data is pushed into the offline table.
# stop previous quick start cluster, if any
bin/quick-start-hybrid.sh
Let's head over to Pinot Data Explorer to check out the data we pushed to the airlineStats table.
