Chapter 3: Setting Up Metabase

We now know all the ways to get an instance of Metabase up and running. What we have not done yet is actually used Metabase. That will change with this chapter. However, before we start to use Metabase to explore data, we need to do some setting up so that it's ready for others to join.

In this chapter, we are going to familiarize ourselves with the Admin section of Metabase, and we'll cover the following main topics:

• Signing up for Metabase
• Using a subdomain
• Setting up email
• Allowing others to use Metabase
• Setting up Google sign-in
• Integrating Metabase with Slack
