## Quick Start
Depending on how you plan to use SimBricks, there are different ways to start
using it. The quickest way to get started just running SimBricks is with our
[pre-built Docker container images](https://hub.docker.com/u/simbricks).
However, if you plan to make changes to SimBricks, you will have to build
SimBricks from source, either through Docker, or on your local machine. The
different ways are listed below in order of increasing effort required.

**This is the quickest way to get started using SimBricks.**
We provide a [repository](https://github.com/simbricks/simbricks-examples)
that contains a series of examples including an easy-to-use and more interactive
introduction to SimBricks through a Jupyter Notebook showing first steps on how to orchestrate
and run simulations using SimBricks. The repository is set up for usage
with [GitHub codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces/new/simbricks/simbricks-examples/?quickstart=1)
which in conjunction with the Jupyter Notebook provide a very easy to use step-by-step introduction
to SimBricks.
For more advanced use-cases the repository provides an example for users
on how one can provide custom disk images to simulated SimBricks hosts for non-trivial
use-cases, and a project on hardware acceleration composed of several milestones
guiding users through a complete SimBricks based development flow.
The repository is set up with a dev container configuration that makes running the
examples a breeze. For quick tests you can just open the repo in CodeSpaces. The
easiest way to use this locally is with vscode and its Dev Containers Extension. You can
find more details on how to use the provided experiments in the repositories

directly running the interactive example together with small tweaks directly
from browser through [GitHub

For more advanced use-cases, there's also an example on how to build custom disk
images for simulated SimBricks hosts and a project on custom hardware
development, composed of several milestones highlighting how SimBricks can be
used throughout the complete product cycle. You can use these as the basis to
build your own experiments. For that, the repository also comes with a dev
container configuration that makes running the examples a breeze. The easiest
way to use this locally is with [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and
its [Dev Containers
extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers).
