Reference for package extras
Here’s the list of all the extra dependencies of Apache Airflow.
The entries with *
in the Preinstalled
column indicate that those extras (providers) are always pre-installed when Airflow is installed.
Note
You can disable automated installation of the providers with extras when installing Airflow. You need to have INSTALL_PROVIDERS_FROM_SOURCES
environment variable to true
before running pip install
command. Contributors need to set it, if they are installing Airflow locally, and want to develop providers directly via Airflow sources. This variable is automatically set in Breeze
development environment. Setting this variable is not needed in editable mode (pip install -e
).
Core Airflow extras
These are core airflow extras that extend capabilities of core Airflow. They usually do not install provider packages (with the exception of celery
and cncf.kubernetes
extras), they just install necessary python dependencies for the provided package.

aiobotocore |
| Support for asynchronous (deferrable) operators for Amazon integration |
async |
| Async worker classes for Gunicorn |
celery |
| CeleryExecutor (also installs the celery provider package!) |

| Needed To use CgroupTaskRunner |
cncf.kubernetes |
| Kubernetes Executor (also installs the Kubernetes provider package) |

Providers extras
These providers extras are simply convenience extras to install provider packages so that you can install the providers with simple command - including provider package and necessary dependencies in single command, which allows PIP to resolve any conflicting dependencies. This is extremely useful for first time installation where you want to repeatably install version of dependencies which are ‘valid’ for both airflow and providers installed.
For example the below command will install:
apache-airflow
apache-airflow-providers-amazon
apache-airflow-providers-google
apache-airflow-providers-apache-spark
with a consistent set of dependencies based on constraint files provided by Airflow Community at the time 2.6.1 version was released.
pip install apache-airflow[google,amazon,apache.spark]==2.6.1 \
--constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-2.6.1/constraints-3.7.txt"
Note, that this will install providers in the versions that were released at the time of Airflow 2.6.1 release. You can later upgrade those providers manually if you want to use latest versions of the providers.
Apache Software extras
These are extras that add dependencies needed for integration with other Apache projects (note that apache.atlas
and apache.webhdfs
do not have their own providers - they only install additional libraries that can be used in custom bash/python providers).

Bundle extras
These are extras that install one or more extras as a bundle. Note that these extras should only be used for “development” version of Airflow - i.e. when Airflow is installed from sources. Because of the way how bundle extras are constructed they might not work when airflow is installed from ‘PyPI`.
If you want to install Airflow from PyPI with “all” extras (which should basically be never needed - you almost never need all extras from Airflow), you need to list explicitly all the non-bundle extras that you want to install.
extra | install command | enables |
---|---|---|
all |

all_dbs |
| All database integrations |
devel |

devel_hadoop |

devel_all |
| Everything needed for development including Hadoop and providers |

extra | install command | enables |

doc_gen |
| Packages needed to generate er diagrams (included in |
Deprecated 1.10 extras
These are the extras that have been deprecated in 2.0 and will be removed in Airflow 3.0.0. They were all replaced by new extras, which have naming consistent with the names of provider packages.
The crypto
extra is not needed any more, because all crypto dependencies are part of airflow package, so there is no replacement for crypto
extra.
