22 To try out Arvados on your local workstation, you can use Arvbox, which
23 provides Arvados components pre-installed in a Docker container (requires
24 Docker 1.9+). After cloning the Arvados git repository:
27 $ cd arvados/tools/arvbox/bin
28 $ ./arvbox start localdemo
31 In this mode you will only be able to connect to Arvbox from the same host. To
32 configure Arvbox to be accessible over a network and for other options see
33 http://doc.arvados.org/install/arvbox.html for details.
37 Complete documentation, including a User Guide, Installation documentation and
38 API documentation is available at http://doc.arvados.org/
40 If you wish to build the Arvados documentation from a local git clone, see
41 doc/README.textile for instructions.
