[jeremy liu]

Hello! everyone,

i wonder to know that did anyone who installed edX insights successfully?  Can you help me? or give me some suggestion or teaching documents beacause there is not much about information about edX insights on the Google search.

My problem is :
After i installed it and it just show the word "Welcome to analysis" but when i clicked in schema there is nothing. I see the edX insights document that shows some picture about insights but i have no idea how to figure out.(There are pictures below !) So do anyone can help me ? Please! I will be grateful to you!!

Hi Jeremy,

  I apologize for the confusion here, but the https://github.com/edx/insights repository is actually an early prototype and is not the code that we currently run in production. Instead we have been using the following repositories:

https://github.com/edx/edx-analytics-dashboard
https://github.com/edx/edx-analytics-data-api
https://github.com/edx/edx-analytics-pipeline

The code in those repositories is what we run in production and is what generates the screenshots you see in the docs.

Note that these repositories are also not yet well documented and difficult to setup (particularly edx-analytics-pipeline). There are a couple of setup guides on the wiki https://github.com/edx/edx-analytics-pipeline/wiki/, however, I'm not aware of anyone actually attempting to set up the pipeline using just the wiki. There are probably some incorrect and/or confusing instructions in there.

We prioritized open sourcing the code, but have not yet taken on the effort necessary to make it easy to use. It currently requires quite a bit of technical expertise, code reading and manual work to set it up. That said - if you are willing to take on the project, we would love to know how it goes so that we can help identify the most important pieces of missing documentation etc. We are happy to answer questions on IRC or on this list as issues come up.

Thanks,

-Gabe

Hi Gabe,

             Now that it has been a few years, has the Wiki been updated such that it gives a working solution? I have used this as a reference https://github.com/edx/edx-analytics-pipeline/wiki/Running-the-analytics-backend-locally.

Thanks,

Somansh
