How to Sign Up/Create an Account in Redash

[Tomski23]

Can you guide me on how to sign up for a Redash account? The get started page of Redash is too complicated for a beginner; it doesn't provide a basic understanding of how to create an account.

Hi @Tomski23, Would you have read this too? https://redash.io/help/open-source/setup
If you're still struggling with this, let me know and I'll explain a bit more. :)

[Tomski23]

Yes, could you please explain step-by-step how to do it? I want to create
an account without using open source. Does Redash have easy settings for
making an account? Thanks!

[lucydodo]

What do you mean by not using open source? Do you mean you want to use a pre-hosted platform?

[Tomski23]

I mean the easy way to create an account, similar to Metabase, where I was able to quickly set up an account.

In this case, @justinclift's comment below will help you.

@Tomski23 Are you looking to run Redash yourself, or are you wanting to use a version that's managed by someone else?

[Tomski23]

The company I work for would like to trial Redash to evaluate its
capabilities. We are beginners, so is there an easy access guide on how to
create an account in Redash that doesn't use open source?

Understood. Please add yourself at the sign-up page here: https://newdash.io

There's still a bunch of manual processes that triggers, and someone (probably me) will get in contact with you within the day and go through potential pricing, (etc).

That being said, what are the types of data sources you're wanting to pull data from, and are the people who'd be trying it out in your company familiar with writing "SQL queries"?

In most cases writing SQL queries is a skill that will be needed, though it does depend if your data sources offer a SQL interface. 😄
