In this guide, you'll learn how to download and install Apache Pinot as a standalone instance.
First, download the Pinot distribution for this tutorial. You can either download a packaged release or build a distribution from the source code.
Install with JDK 11 or 21. JDK 17 should work, but it is not officially supported.
For JDK 8 support, Pinot 0.12.1 is the last version compilable from the source code.
Pinot 1.0+ doesn't support JDK 8 anymore, build with JDK 11+
Note that some installations of the JDK do not contain the JNI bindings necessary to run all tests. If you see an error like java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError while running tests, you might need to change your JDK.
Download the distribution or build from source by selecting one of the following tabs:
Download the latest binary release from , or use this command:
Extract the TAR file:
Navigate to the directory containing the launcher scripts:
You can also find older versions of Apache Pinot at . For example, to download Pinot 0.10.0, run the following command:
Now that we've downloaded Pinot, it's time to set up a cluster. There are two ways to do this: through quick start or through setting up a cluster manually.
Pinot comes with quick start commands that launch instances of Pinot components in the same process and import pre-built datasets.
For example, the following quick start command launches Pinot with a baseball dataset pre-loaded:
If you want to play with bigger datasets (more than a few megabytes), you can launch each component individually.
The video below is a step-by-step walk through for launching the individual components of Pinot and scaling them to multiple instances.
The examples below assume that you are using Java 11+.
If you are using Java 8, add the following settings insideJAVA_OPTS. So, for example, instead of this:
Use the following:
Users could start and customize the cluster by modifying the config files and start the components with config files:
Set break points and inspect variables by starting a Pinot component with debug mode in IntelliJ.
The following example demonstrates server debugging:
Pinot can also be installed on Mac OS using the Brew package manager. For instructions on installing Brew, see the .
For a list of all the available quick start commands, see the .
You can find the commands that are shown in this video in the .
You can use to browse the Zookeeper instance.
Once your cluster is up and running, you can head over to to learn how to run queries against the data.
First, startzookeeper , controller, and broker using the .
Then, use the following configuration under $PROJECT_DIR$\.run ) to start the server, replacing the metrics-core version and cluster name as needed.
This is an example of how to use it.
This quick start guide will help you bootstrap a Pinot standalone instance on your local machine.
