Tableau runs on Linux

Tableau's API runs on Linux, enabling developers to directly create files that can be used in the tool itself.

How it works
The API works with C/C++, Java, and Python. Developers can use this API to generate TDE files from on-premise software and software-as-a-service. This API lets you systematically get data into Tableau when there is not a native connector to the data source you are using.
TDE Files
Tableau can connect natively to Tableau Data Extracts (TDE) which can be used in Tableau Desktop or published to Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud through the same API.
