## Quickstart The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows). ``` # First, install Coder curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh # Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder) coder server # Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user, # create a Docker template, and provision a workspace ``` ## Install The easiest way to install Coder is to use our [install script](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/install.sh) for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest `..._installer.exe` file from GitHub Releases. ```bash curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh ``` You can run the install script with `--dry-run` to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with `--help` for additional flags. > See [install](https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/install) for additional methods. Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command: ```shell # Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app coder server # Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL coder server --postgres-url
