2. Create an env var pointing to your Metabase site URL, if it's not on http://localhost:3000 `$ export METABASE_SITE_URL="http://localhost:4000"`
3. Create an env var with the ID of the dashboard to embed: `$ export METABASE_EMBED_DASHBOARD_ID="8"`
3. Install dependencies: `$ bundle install`
## Embed the dashboard
1. Go to your dashboard, click on the share/embed button at the top
