Run the Fides Sample Project
To get started quickly with Fides, a sample project is bundled within the Fides CLI that will set up a server, Privacy Center, and a sample application for you to experiment with.
To work with Fides in your own infrastructure, see the DSR Automation guide.
Deployment Steps
Minimum requirements
Download and install Fides
You can easily download and install the Fides demo using pip. Run the following command to get started:
pip install ethyca-fides
Deploy the Fides sample project
By default, Fides ships with a small project belonging to a fictional e-commerce store. Running the deploy up command builds a Fides project with all you need to run your first Data Subject Request against real databases.
fides deploy up
fides deploy as part of a local fides development environment, refer to the local documentation instead.Exploring the sample project
When your deployment finishes, a welcome screen will explain the key components of Fides and the sample Cookie House store.
If your browser does not open automatically, you should navigate to http://localhost:3000.
The project contains:
- The Fides Admin UI for managing privacy requests
- The Fides Privacy Center for submitting requests
- The sample Cookie House eCommerce site for testing
- A DSR Directory on your computer to view results
Run your first Privacy Access Request
Navigate to the Fides Privacy Center, type in the email address for the sample user (jane@example.com), and submit the request.
Then, navigate to the Fides Admin UI to review the pending privacy request.
Approve the request, and review the resulting package!
Next steps
Congratulations! You've just run an entire privacy request in under 5 minutes! Fides offers many more tools help take control of your data privacy. To find out more, you can run a privacy request on your own infrastructure, discover data mapping, or learn about the Fides Taxonomy.
