Prerequisites

What you need before starting with LakeQL.

You need three things before you start:

  • Node.js — a current LTS release. Use Node 24 or newer. The generated project targets modern Node.
  • A package manager — npm, pnpm, or yarn.
  • A reachable data source — a Trino coordinator or a Microsoft Fabric SQL endpoint you can connect to, with credentials.

You do not need to install any LakeQL package globally. The quickstart scaffolds a project with everything wired in. The CLI runs through your package manager.

Next, scaffold a project in the quickstart.
