# Local Deployment

:::info
These instructions have been tested on MacOS, Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.

## Setup & launch Airbyte

* Install Docker on your workstation \(see [instructions](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)\). Make sure you're on the latest version of `docker-compose`.
* After Docker is installed, you can immediately get started locally by running:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git
cd airbyte
docker-compose up
```

* In your browser, just visit [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
* Start moving some data!

## Deploy on Windows

After installing the WSL 2 backend and Docker you should be able to run containers using Windows PowerShell. Additionally, as we note frequently, you will need `docker-compose` to build Airbyte from source. The suggested guide already installs `docker-compose` on Windows.

### Setup Guide

**1. Check out system requirements from [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/install/).**

Follow the steps on the system requirements, and necessarily, download and install the Linux kernel update package.

**2. Install Docker Desktop on Windows.**

Install [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/install/) from here.

Make sure to select the options:
1. *Enable Hyper-V Windows Features*
2. *Install required Windows components for WSL 2*\
   when prompted. After installation, it will require to reboot your computer.

**3. You're done!**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git
cd airbyte
docker-compose up
```
* In your browser, just visit [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
* Start moving some data!
