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/talos-systems/talos/releases/latest/download/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-amd64
 | 
						|
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/talosctl
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `arm64`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For `linux` and `darwin` operating systems `talosctl` is also available for the `arm64` processor architecture.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/talos-systems/talos/releases/latest/download/talosctl-$(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-master-1   Ready    master   115s   v1.20.2   10.5.0.2      <none>        Talos (v0.13.0)   <host kernel>    containerd://1.5.5
 | 
						|
talos-default-worker-1   Ready    <none>   115s   v1.20.2   10.5.0.3      <none>        Talos (v0.13.0)   <host kernel>    containerd://1.5.5
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Destroy the Cluster
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When you are all done, remove the cluster:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
talosctl cluster destroy
 | 
						|
```
