Install Dagger
This documentation is for an older version of Dagger, which is no longer actively maintained.
We encourage you to upgrade and refer to the documentation for the most current version.
If you cannot upgrade to the latest version, please contact us in the help forum on Discord. When contacting us, please let us know why you cannot move to the latest version. From there, our team will work with you on your use case.
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.
