.. _quickstart:

Quickstart (1-click install)
============================

1. `Download <https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases>`_ the latest stable release of Tutor, uncompress the file and place the ``tutor`` executable in your path. From the command line:

.. include:: cli_download.rst

2. Run ``tutor local quickstart``
3. You're done!

**That's it?**

Yes :) This is what happens when you run ``tutor local quickstart``:

1. You answer a few questions about the :ref:`configuration` of your Open edX platform.
2. Configuration files are generated from templates.
3. Docker images are downloaded.
4. Docker containers are provisioned.
5. A full, production-ready Open edX platform (`Ironwood <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/open-release-ironwood.master/platform_releases/ironwood.html#open-edx-ironwood-release>`__ release) is run with docker-compose.

The whole procedure should require less than 10 minutes, on a server with a good bandwidth. Note that your host environment will not be affected in any way, since everything runs inside docker containers. Root access is not even necessary.

There's a lot more to Tutor than that! To understand what Tutor does and how it works, take a look at the :ref:`introduction <intro>`.
