[Coder](https://coder.com) enables organizations to set up development environments in the cloud. Environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and are automatically shut down when not in use to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads that are most beneficial to them.
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
You can run the install script with `--dry-run` to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. You can modify the installation process by including flags. Run the install script with `--help` for reference.
Use `coder --help` to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our [install guides](https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/install) for a full walkthrough.
