Local Quick Start
Use this page when you want the shortest path to run SeaTunnel on your machine. For most new users, the default recommendation is still SeaTunnel Engine (Zeta) because it has the fastest feedback loop and the least setup friction.
Pick A Local Starting Path
| Your situation | Start here |
|---|---|
| I need the default first-run path | Quick Start With SeaTunnel Engine |
| I need installation and plugin setup first | Deployment |
| My team already runs Flink | Quick Start With Flink |
| My team already runs Spark | Quick Start With Spark |
Recommended First-Run Order
- Read Deployment.
- Install the sample plugins you need.
- Run your first local job with Run Your First Job or the SeaTunnel Engine quick start.
- Move to the Job Configuration Guide after the sample succeeds.
When To Read The Other Paths
- Use the Flink path only when you already operate Flink and want SeaTunnel to fit that environment.
- Use the Spark path only when your workload is already centered on Spark.
- Use this local section first, then move to cluster deployment after you have one working pipeline.
