</:::{info}>


## Prerequisites

- If you don’t have Docker installed, [download and install Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) for your operating system.
- If you’re using Microsoft Windows, then install [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).


## Step 1: Run `start-local` script

To set up Elasticsearch and Kibana locally, run the `start-local` script in the command line:
```sh
curl -fsSL https://elastic.co/start-local | sh
```

After running the script, you can access Elastic services at the following endpoints:
- **Elasticsearch**: [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)
- **Kibana**: [http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601)

That's it! There's no step 2.

## Learn more

For more detailed information about the `start-local` setup, refer to the [README on GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/start-local). Learn about customizing the setup, logging, and more.
