Install
- In your terminal

- You will now see a login screen. If you already have a Matatika account you can just login, otherwise sign up here: Matatika Sign Up.
Congratulations, you now have the Matatika Lab running against your Meltano project!
Stop
- In your terminal window where lab was started, press CTRL+C to stop the process
- In your terminal run:
meltano invoke matatika lab stop
This command will gracefully stop the lab docker containers.
-
Below command with extra –reset option, will reset the volumes mounted, including the internal database. That means all the settings/changes are lost.
meltano invoke matatika lab stop --reset

meltano lock --update utility matatika
meltano install --clean utility matatika
