Install Dagger

The first step to get started is to install dagger on your local machine. Once installed, we recommend following our tutorial (or trying a template.)

⚡ What's next?

After installing Dagger, we recommend following our tutorial, especially if you want a hands-on experience setting up a local pipeline (5 minutes) and then reproducing it live in your CI environment (10-30 minutes), or grab a template below to see Dagger working instantly.

If you are not sure if Dagger fits your pipeline, browse or search for topics related to your use case, or feel free to ask our engineers and community through Discord.
