22 Veritas Genetics maintains a public installation of Arvados for evaluation and trial use, the [Arvados Playground](https://playground.arvados.org). A Google account is required to log in.
24 To try out Arvados on your local workstation, you can use Arvbox, which
25 provides Arvados components pre-installed in a Docker container (requires
26 Docker 1.9+). After cloning the Arvados git repository:
29 $ cd arvados/tools/arvbox/bin
30 $ ./arvbox start localdemo
33 In this mode you will only be able to connect to Arvbox from the same host. To
34 configure Arvbox to be accessible over a network and for other options see
35 http://doc.arvados.org/install/arvbox.html for details.
39 Complete documentation, including a User Guide, Installation documentation and
40 API documentation is available at http://doc.arvados.org/
42 If you wish to build the Arvados documentation from a local git clone, see
43 doc/README.textile for instructions.
