Metabase Overview
Metabase is an open source business intelligence and dashboarding application. The direct download on this page is the official Metabase 0.61.2 JAR from downloads.metabase.com, which is the same cross-platform server package used on Windows, macOS, and Linux when Java is available. Metabase can connect to databases, create questions and dashboards, schedule reports, and share analytics with teams. The JAR package is useful for controlled environments because it is a single versioned file that can be saved, checksummed, and started consistently across supported operating systems. For offline deployment, download the versioned JAR, install a supported Java runtime on the target machine, configure the application database and environment variables, then run the package with java -jar metabase.jar. Keep database drivers and any enterprise plugins staged separately if the deployment requires them. The Metabase offline installer is the standalone setup distribution for Windows/macOS/Linux, with the full setup file suitable for offline deployment on developer workstations and CI/build machines that cannot reach the vendor's update servers during install.
