Okay, guys, it is time to get started with Tableau.
Let's type Tableau public in Google.
As you can see, the first result we have points to Tableaus website at WW Tableau.
I'll click on the link and this will direct me to the Tableau public domain.
It shouldn't be difficult to download Tableau from here if you're wondering why we searched for Tableau
public.
The reason is quite trivial.
This is tableaus free version.
If you don't have a paid subscription for Tableau, this is an excellent alternative.
You can practice with most of the program's functionalities and you don't have to pay tableaus annual
fee.
So it is up to you.
You can either use Tableau Public for free or pay for tableaus desktop version.
Both options would allow you to follow along.
There are some issues when you want to integrate Tableau Public and programming languages like ah,
Python and SQL.
To do that you'll need Tableau desktop.
But for now, Tableau Public will do just fine and allow us to practice at will.
All I have to do here is provide an email address.
And.
Once I have done that, an x file will download automatically on my computer.
Let's open the file.
This is the standard installation procedure you will find when installing any program out there.
I have to agree to tableaus, terms and conditions and then click install.
Once the installation starts, I simply have to wait.
And here we are.
Tableaus installed on my PC.
We are ready to start our journey.
