# dbt project

This is the dbt project for the course.

## Set up

Make a venv and install the requirements listed in `requirements.txt`.

You need to place a profile for the local postgres instance in `~/.dbt/profiles.yaml`. See below a sample config that should be a good starting point if you follow the instructions in the `database` dir of this project.

```yaml
dbtlearn:
  outputs:

    dev:
      type: postgres
      threads: 4
      host: localhost
      port: 5432
      user: the user
      pass: the password
      dbname: airbnb
      schema: dev

  target: dev
```

Once you have set this up and the database as well, you can run `dbt debug` to ensure everything is set up correctly and dbt can reach the database.

To install the required dbt packages, run `dbt deps`.

You should also delete the lines under the `dbtlearn` key in the `dbt_project.yml` file.

Also delete the contents of the `models` folder.
