# Quick start [#quick-start]

Once Atlas ships in the Coolify docs repo, there is nothing to install or configure by hand: you install the project's dependencies, run one command, and the dashboard opens in your browser.

<Callout type="warn">
  Atlas is **not in the Coolify docs source yet**. The docs are [being restructured](https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify-docs/pull/493), so Atlas currently lives on a feature branch of the Coolify docs repo and will be merged into the next branch soon (on the docs repo, `next` is the `development` branch). For now, follow the [installation guide](/docs/core/getting-started/installation) to set Atlas up on your own fork of the docs repo.
</Callout>

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

You will need:

* **[Bun](https://bun.sh)** installed, since Atlas runs on Bun.
* A **local clone** of the Coolify docs repo.
* **Git** available on your machine, which Atlas uses for commits, history, and branches.

<Callout type="info">
  Atlas runs entirely on your machine. There are no accounts and no cloud, so nothing leaves your laptop.
</Callout>

## Run Atlas [#run-atlas]

From the root of the docs repo, install the dependencies and start Atlas:

```bash
bun install && bun run dev:atlas
```

Then open &#x2A;*[http://localhost:4444](http://localhost:4444)** in your browser.

That is all you need. From here you can open the editor, manage media, and ship changes with Git.
