Ash Berlin-Taylor commented on AIRFLOW-2873:
--------------------------------------------

Thanks for reporting this. An easy quickstart procedure is definitely something we value!

The hard-dependency on cryptography should have been removed in master/1.10.0rc3 The padding issue might be as well.

Could you try again after installing this?

{code:bash}
AIRFLOW_GPL_UNIDECODE=yes pip install 'https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/airflow/1.10.0rc3/apache-airflow-1.10.0rc3+incubating-bin.tar.gz#egg=apache-airflow>=1.10'
{code}

> binascii.Error: Incorrect padding{code}
> Which after some googling leads to the conclusion that the ~/project/airflow/airflow.cfg fernet_key field is not set to the correct value.
> *Feature request:*
> _Have the setup automatically generate a valid fernet key for the user._
> The fact that this page exists: [https://bcb.github.io/airflow/fernet-key] suggests this could easily be a part of the package.
> I understand that this project is in incubator phase, but I would say having a quick start that is not working as-is will discourage users from trying out this project. Thank you for considering.
