Getting Started 🎯

In this section, we'll guide you through the initial steps to get started with our web application. Before you dive into the specifics, make sure you meet the system requirements and have everything in place.

We recommend using Chromium-based browsers to access Fluent. This includes Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc and others.

Fluent turns your data questions into SQL code and executes it against your database to get answers.

Before you can start asking questions in Fluent, there are 2 things you need to set up.

You need to connect Fluent to your database. Fluent can connect to most popular SQL databases and the the steps involved are very similar to other BI tools. You can read this guide to connect your database.

You can always ask your data analyst to help you set up the connection. Here’s how: Invite your team

That concludes the "Getting Started" section. As you continue through this documentation, you'll find more in-depth information on various aspects of our web application, including its architecture, configuration, usage, and troubleshooting.
