What do you see as an issue?

After installing Airflow and running it standalone with $ airflow standalone, the The Quick Start tutorial on the 4th step instructs the user to "Enable the example_bash_operator DAG in the home page". This DAG does not exist, but these nine do:

  1. example_trigger_controller_dag
  2. example_trigger_target_dag
  3. example_xcom
  4. example_xcom_args
  5. example_xcom_args_with_operators
  6. tutorial
  7. tutorial_dag
  8. tutorial_objectstorage
  9. tutorial_taskflow_api

Solving the problem

The user should be instructed to run an existing DAG.
EDIT: this DAG is created when a user installed virtualenv. I amended the documentation in the following PR.

Anything else

Perhaps not all users immediately know what you're talking about when you write DAG. I can only assume it's Directed Acyclic Graphs, but normally when an acronym is used for the first time it should be introduced to reduce false assumptions.

Are you willing to submit PR?

  • Yes I am willing to submit a PR!
