Understanding the Installation Process with an Analogy

Imagine setting up a new coffee machine in your kitchen. First, you take it out of the box (clone the repository), then you plug it in (install the required packages). Next, you set the preferences, ensuring it knows your favorite coffee settings (inputting your API keys). You’ll also need to have fresh coffee beans ready (creating schemas) and adjust the machine for optimal brewing (running the SQL commands). Finally, you hit the brew button (run the app) to enjoy your fresh coffee! Just like that, you will enjoy your data insights with SnowChat!
