## Local Docker Cluster
The easiest way to try Talos is by using the CLI (`talosctl`) to create a cluster on a machine with `docker` installed.
### Prerequisites
#### `talosctl`
Download `talosctl`:
##### `amd64`
```bash
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/{{< release >}}/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-amd64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/talosctl
```
##### `arm64`
For `linux` and `darwin` operating systems `talosctl` is also available for the `arm64` processor architecture.
```bash
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/{{< release >}}/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-arm64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/talosctl
```
#### `kubectl`
Download `kubectl` via one of methods outlined in the [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/).
### Create the Cluster
Now run the following:
```bash
talosctl cluster create
```
Verify that you can reach Kubernetes:
```bash
$ kubectl get nodes -o wide
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME
talos-default-controlplane-1 Ready master 115s v{{< k8s_release >}} 10.5.0.2 <none> Talos ({{< release >}}) <host kernel> containerd://1.5.5
talos-default-worker-1 Ready <none> 115s v{{< k8s_release >}} 10.5.0.3 <none> Talos ({{< release >}}) <host kernel> containerd://1.5.5
```
### Destroy the Cluster
When you are all done, remove the cluster:
```bash
talosctl cluster destroy
```
