| 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   v1.20.2   10.5.0.2      <none>        Talos (v0.10.0)   <host kernel>    containerd://1.4.3
 | |
| talos-default-worker-1   Ready    <none>   115s   v1.20.2   10.5.0.3      <none>        Talos (v0.10.0)   <host kernel>    containerd://1.4.3
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Destroy the Cluster
 | |
| 
 | |
| When you are all done, remove the cluster:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| talosctl cluster destroy
 | |
| ```
