# Local quickstart
> Run Briefer's open-source version on your machine.
There are two ways to run Briefer's open-source version on your machine. The first is to use `pip` and the second is to run Briefer's Docker container directly.
## Running through `pip`
The recommended way to run Briefer locally is to install it using `pip` and run it using the `briefer` command.
Please note that Briefer requires [Docker](https://www.docker.com) to run, so
make sure you have it installed before running the commands below.
```bash theme={null}
# Install Briefer
pip install briefer
# Run Briefer and access it on http://localhost:3000
briefer
```
If you run Briefer using `pip`, our initialization scripts will take care of downloading [our docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/briefercloud/briefer), setting up volumes to store Briefer's data, and starting the application.
## Running with docker
Alternatively, you can also run Briefer using Docker directly:
```bash theme={null}
# Run Briefer using Docker
docker run -d \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v briefer_psql_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
-v briefer_jupyter_data:/home/jupyteruser \
-v briefer_briefer_data:/home/briefer \
briefercloud/briefer
```
When running on Windows' PowerShell, it might be necessary to add an extra `` ` `` to the end of each line instead of the `\`, like this:
```bash theme={null}
# Run Briefer using Docker
docker run -d `
-p 3000:3000 `
-v briefer_psql_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data `
-v briefer_jupyter_data:/home/jupyteruser `
-v briefer_briefer_data:/home/briefer `
briefercloud/briefer
```
These volumes are for Briefer to store its data, including its pages, dashboards, schedules, and users. If you want to remove Briefer's data, you can remove these volumes.
## Deploying Briefer for your team
