Get started¶
Short tutorials take you from nothing to a suite that runs itself and tells you when something breaks. Each one ends with something you can see on screen.
-
Install
Run DataQ locally with Docker in about five minutes. No cloud account, no identity provider — sign in with an emailed code.
-
Your first suite
Connect a datasource, author two checks, run them, and read the result.
-
Your first alert
Route a suite's breaches to Teams, Slack or email, prove it fires, and see why it stays quiet afterwards.
-
Run it automatically
Trigger the suite when your ADF, Airflow or dbt pipeline succeeds, or put it on a cron.
-
Ask an AI assistant
Mint a token, point Claude, Copilot or Cursor at
/mcp, ask the four questions. -
Concepts
The six words you need — connection, suite, check, run, result, incident — and how they fit together.
Where next¶
The Guides go deeper on each of these; the Reference lists every check type, endpoint and tool.
