| Install complexity | EASY | سهل — حزمة Python أو ملف CLI تنفيذي واحد | Easy with a supported package manager; Homebrew must already be installed for this command. Official binaries, Windows, Linux, and source options are documented. |
| Category | Workflow, Data | Database | Workflow, UI |
| Best use | Ideal for a data analyst, Python developer, or small team that wants reproducible experiments, clear Git review, and an interactive report or internal tool from the same source. It is not a replacement for governed BI or a production service requiring enterprise scaling and permissions. | Best for an analyst, developer, or small team that needs to inspect and join large data files and rerun analysis locally. It adds reviewable SQL without database-server setup. It is not a multi-user transactional database for many small concurrent writes from separate processes. | For developers and small teams that want architecture and data-flow diagrams close to the repository and reviewable as text. Use it when relationships matter more than pixel-perfect placement; not for free-form marketing design or exact manual positioning. |
