# Getting Started

Welcome to the Redgold Core docs page, here you'll find information about what Redgold is, 
how to use it, and how to participate in the network. **This project is still in experimental development, 
and not fully released to production. Right 
now it can be used from development environments, but is not yet stable.** 

This guide is a quick-start intended to give you information about the most important commands, please see the 
more detailed references and guides for additional information.

To learn more about the project, please see the [About Page](/introduction/about)

## Installation

There's a few different options for installation right now.

You can pull the docker image and run it that way

```bash
docker run redgoldio/redgold:dev --help
```

This currently can only be used to run the CLI commands or a node, not the GUI.

You can also navigate to the [GitHub Releases Page](https://github.com/redgold-io/redgold/releases) to 
find the latest binary releases for your platform. These are pre-built binaries that can be run 
locally to run the CLI, GUI, or Node. Currently only Linux & Mac is supported
