Setting the web server

Start the Superset web server with this command:

superset runserver

Superset loads the configuration from a superset_config.py Python file. This file must be present in the path stored in the SUPERSET_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. The configuration variables present in this config file will override their default values. Superset uses the default values for variables not defined in the file.

So to configure the application, we need to create a Python file. After creating the Python file, we need to update SUPERSET_CONFIG_PATH to include the file path.

On your GCE instance, run the following commands:

shashank@superset:~$ touch $HOME/.superset/superset_config.py
shashank@superset:~$ echo 'export SUPERSET_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/.superset/superset_config.py' >> ~/.bash_profile
shashank@superset:~$ source ~/.bash_profile

Those are the last commands...
