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`:
```bash
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/talos-systems/talos/releases/latest/download/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-amd64
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-master-1 Ready master 115s v1.20.1 10.5.0.2 <none> Talos (v0.8.0) <host kernel> containerd://1.4.3
talos-default-worker-1 Ready <none> 115s v1.20.1 10.5.0.3 <none> Talos (v0.8.0) <host kernel> containerd://1.4.3
```
## Destroy the Cluster
When you are all done, remove the cluster:
```bash
talosctl cluster destroy
```
