# Quick Start Starting with `docker run` is the simplest way to get up and running with DragonflyDB. If you do not have docker on your machine, [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) before continuing. ## Step 1 ### On linux ```bash docker run --network=host --ulimit memlock=-1 docker.dragonflydb.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly ``` ### On macOS _`network=host` doesn't work well on macOS, see [this issue](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/1031)_ ```bash docker run -p 6379:6379 --ulimit memlock=-1 docker.dragonflydb.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly ``` Dragonfly DB will answer to both `http` and `redis` requests out of the box! You can use `redis-cli` to connect to `localhost:6379` or open a browser and visit `http://localhost:6379` **NOTE**: On some configurations, running with the `docker run --privileged ...` flag can fix some initialization errors. ## Step 2 Connect with a redis client ```bash redis-cli 127.0.0.1:6379> set hello world OK 127.0.0.1:6379> keys * 1) "hello" 127.0.0.1:6379> get hello "world" 127.0.0.1:6379> ``` ## Step 3 Continue being great and build your app with the power of DragonflyDB! ## Known issues ## More Build Options - [Docker Compose Deployment](/contrib/docker/) - [Kubernetes Deployment with Helm Chart](/contrib/charts/dragonfly/) - [Build From Source](/docs/build-from-source.md)
