+
+## Introduction
+
+In this quickstart guide, you'll learn how to use dbt Core with DuckDB, enabling you to get set up quickly and efficiently. [DuckDB](https://duckdb.org/) is an open-source database management system which is designed for analytical workloads. It is designed to provide fast and easy access to large datasets, making it well-suited for data analytics tasks. 
+
+
+This guide will demonstrate how to: 
+
+- Create a virtual development environment using a template provided by dbt Labs.
+   - This sets up a fully functional dbt environment with an operational and executable project. The codespace automatically connects to the DuckDB database and loads a year's worth of data from our fictional Jaffle Shop café, which sells food and beverages in several US cities.
+   - For additional information, refer to the [README](https://github.com/dbt-labs/jaffle_shop_duckdb/blob/duckdb/README.md) for the Jaffle Shop template. It includes instructions on how to do this, along with animated GIFs.
+- Run any dbt command from the environment’s terminal. 
+- Generate a larger dataset for the Jaffle Shop café (for example, five years of data instead of just one).
+
+You can learn more through high-quality [dbt Learn courses and workshops](https://learn.getdbt.com).

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- When using DuckDB with dbt Core, you'll need to use the dbt command-line interface (CLI). Currently, DuckDB is not supported in dbt Cloud.
+- It's important that you know some basics of the terminal. In particular, you should understand `cd`, `ls` , and `pwd` to navigate through the directory structure of your computer easily.
+- You have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join).
+
+## Set up DuckDB for dbt Core
+
+This section will provide a step-by-step guide for setting up DuckDB for use in local (Mac and Windows) environments and web browsers.
+
+In the repository, there's a [`requirements.txt`](https://github.com/dbt-labs/jaffle_shop_duckdb/blob/duckdb/requirements.txt) file which is used to install dbt Core, DuckDB, and all other necessary dependencies. You can check this file to see what will be installed on your machine. It's typically located in the root directory of your project.
+
+The `requirements.txt` file is placed at the top level of your dbt project directory, alongside other key files like `dbt_project.yml`:
+
+
+```shell
+
+/my_dbt_project/
+├── dbt_project.yml
+├── models/
+│   ├── my_model.sql
+├── tests/
+│   ├── my_test.sql
+└── requirements.txt
+
+```
+
+For more information on the setup of DuckDB, you can refer to [DuckDB setup](/docs/core/connect-data-platform/duckdb-setup).

+
+
+1. First, [clone](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone) the Jaffle Shop git repository by running the following command in your terminal:
+
+
+
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/dbt-labs/jaffle_shop_duckdb.git
+
+    ```
+
+2. Change into the docs-duckdb directory from the command line:
+
+    ```shell
+
+    cd jaffle_shop_duck_db
+
+    ```
+
+
+3. Install dbt Core and DuckDB in a virtual environment.
+
+    <Expandable alt_header="Example for Mac" >
+
+    ```shell
+
+    python3 -m venv venv
+    source venv/bin/activate
+    python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
+    python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+    source venv/bin/activate
+
+    ```
+    </Expandable>
+
+    <Expandable alt_header="Example for Windows" >
+
+    ```shell
+
+    python -m venv venv
+    venv\Scripts\activate.bat
+    python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+    venv\Scripts\activate.bat
+
+    ```
+
+    </Expandable>
+
+    <Expandable alt_header="Example for Windows PowerShell" >
+
+    ```shell
+
+    python -m venv venv
+    venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+    python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+    venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+
+    ```
+    </Expandable>
+
+
+4. Ensure your profile is setup correctly from the command line by running the following:
+
+
+    - [dbt compile](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/compile) &mdash; generates executable SQL from your project source files
+    - [dbt run](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/run) &mdash; compiles and runs your project
+    - [dbt test](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/test) &mdash; compiles and tests your project
+    - [dbt build](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/build) &mdash; compiles, runs, and tests your project
+    - [dbt docs generate](/reference/commands/cmd-docs#dbt-docs-generate) &mdash; generates your project's documentation.
+    - [dbt docs serve](/reference/commands/cmd-docs#dbt-docs-serve) &mdash; starts a webserver on port 8080 to serve your documentation locally and opens the documentation site in your default browser.
+
+Here's what a successful output will look like:
+
+```jinja
+

+
+:::note
+
+The steps will fail if you decide to run this project in your data warehouse (outside of this DuckDB demo). You will need to reconfigure the project files for your warehouse. Definitely consider this if you are using a community-contributed adapter.

+
+### Troubleshoot
+
+    <Expandable alt_header="Could not set lock on file error" >
+
+    ```Jinja
+
+    IO Error: Could not set lock on file "jaffle_shop.duckdb": Resource temporarily unavailable
+
+    ```
+
+    This is a known issue in DuckDB. Try disconnecting from any sessions that are locking the database. If you are using DBeaver, this means shutting down DBeaver (disconnecting doesn't always work).
+
+    As a last resort, deleting the database file will get you back in action (_but_ you will lose all your data).

+
+1. Go to the `jaffle-shop-template` [repository](https://github.com/dbt-labs/jaffle_shop_duckdb) after you log in to your GitHub account. 
+1. Click **Use this template** at the top of the page and choose **Create new repository**.
+1. Click **Create repository from template** when you’re done setting the options for your new repository.
+1. Click **Code** (at the top of the new repository’s page). Under the **Codespaces** tab,  choose **Create codespace on main**. Depending on how you've configured your computer's settings, this either opens a new browser tab with the Codespace development environment with VSCode running in it or opens a new VSCode window with the codespace in it. 
+1. Wait for the codespace to finish building by waiting for the `postCreateCommand` command to complete; this can take several minutes:
+
+    <Lightbox src="/img/codespace-quickstart/postCreateCommand.png" title="Wait for postCreateCommand to complete" />
+
+    When this command completes, you can start using the codespace development environment. The terminal the command ran in will close and you will get a prompt in a brand new terminal. 
+
+1. At the terminal's prompt, you can execute any dbt command you want. For example:
+
+    ```shell
+    /workspaces/test (main) $ dbt build
+    ```
+
+    You can also use the [duckcli](https://github.com/dbcli/duckcli) to write SQL against the warehouse from the command line or build reports in the [Evidence](https://evidence.dev/) project provided in the `reports` directory.
+
+    For complete information, refer to the [dbt command reference](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/dbt-commands). Common commands are:
+
+    - [dbt compile](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/compile) &mdash; generates executable SQL from your project source files
+    - [dbt run](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/run) &mdash; compiles and runs your project
+    - [dbt test](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/test) &mdash; compiles and tests your project
+    - [dbt build](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/build) &mdash; compiles, runs, and tests your project

+
+## Generate a larger data set
+
+If you'd like to work with a larger selection of Jaffle Shop data, you can generate an arbitrary number of years of fictitious data from within your codespace. 
+
+1. Install the Python package called [jafgen](https://pypi.org/project/jafgen/). At the terminal's prompt, run:
+
+    ```shell
+    /workspaces/test (main) $ python -m pip install jafgen
+    ```
+
+1. When installation is done, run:
+    ```shell
+    /workspaces/test (main) $ jafgen --years NUMBER_OF_YEARS
+    ``` 
+    Replace `NUMBER_OF_YEARS` with the number of years you want to simulate. This command builds the CSV files and stores them in the `jaffle-data` folder, and is automatically sourced based on the `sources.yml` file and the [dbt-duckdb](/docs/core/connect-data-platform/duckdb-setup) adapter.
+
+As you increase the number of years, it takes exponentially more time to generate the data because the Jaffle Shop stores grow in size and number. For a good balance of data size and time to build, dbt Labs suggests a maximum of 6 years.
