  1. Install the prerequisites:

    • On macOS and Windows, one of the following container management tools:
      • Docker desktop

    • On Linux, Docker 23 or later
  2. Download the docker-compose.yml and .env files:

  3. Start the FusionAuth container:

    docker compose up -d
  4. Visit http://localhost:9011/admin to access the Admin UI.
