How do I grow a pineapple plant from the top at home?

[Supernova]

I just bought a fresh fruit from the grocery store and I’ve seen people successfully sprout the crown instead of throwing it away. I’m looking for a step-by-step guide on how do i grow a pineapple plant from the top using just a jar of water or direct soil. Specifically, I want to know how much of the fruit flesh I should remove to prevent rotting and how long it typically takes to see the first signs of root growth in an indoor environment.
