Hi All , I am trying to install Airbyte first time, I am new to Airbyte. Here is the error I am getting when I copy from git using
git clone <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git>
. I would appreciate any help
u
Hi Sameer, thanks for reaching out! It looks like you may have already cloned the Airbyte repository. Could that be the case?
s
Hi Nataly, I did clone first time and
Docker-composed up
did not work, So I deleted the
Airbyte
folder from my VS code. and tried to re clone it.

Make sure you go into the parent directory where you're running
git clone
and do
ls -la
and look for that
airbyte
folder. I'm you still see the airbyte folder, run
sudo rm -rf airbyte
and that should remove everything, then you can try cloning again!

Hi Nataly, I tried to do that here is the new error-

Looks like you might be in
airbyte-integrations
, which is a folder within
airbyte
. Please make sure you go to your home folder, and try from there!
s
I am in home folder, When I cloned git repo it said clone succeeded but checked out failed
when running docer compose after doing
cd airbyte
it gave me another error-
u
What system are you on? Is it Windows by any chance, are you using WSL2?
s
it is windows
not using wsl2, It is Windows 10 Enterprise
u
Ah, I see! Problems are more common when running on Windows, unfortunately, so if you can switch to WSL2, that would help in the long run! This is not a problem with Airbyte, but I will try my best to help out. In my research I saw that having VSCode or another IDE open while running this command might cause the error. Could you restart your computer to make sure nothing extra is running and try again from the home directory?

Ok SUre, I was running this command via VS code, I will try to close VS code and than rerun it via shell
will update you
Thanks for the help. I was able to install once i closed VS code and used powershell shell.
