Embedded Mode Prerequisites

Installing Drill in embedded mode installs Drill locally on your machine. Embedded mode is a quick way to install and try Drill without having to perform any configuration tasks. Installing Drill in embedded mode configures the local Drillbit service to start automatically when you launch the Drill shell. You can install Drill in embedded mode on a machine running Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows.
