## Docker quickstart
|
|
Docker
|
|
{: .label .label-green }
|
|
|
|
1. Install and start [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop).
|
|
1. Run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker pull opensearchproject/opensearch:{{site.opensearch_version}}
|
|
docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9600:9600 -e "discovery.type=single-node" opensearchproject/opensearch:{{site.opensearch_version}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. In a new terminal session, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -XGET --insecure https://localhost:9200 -u admin:admin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To learn more, see [Install and configure OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/install/) and [Install and configure OpenSearch Dashboards]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/dashboards/install/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The secure path forward
|
|
|
|
OpenSearch includes a demo configuration so that you can get up and running quickly, but before using OpenSearch in a production environment, you must [configure the security plugin manually]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/security-plugin/configuration/index/): your own certificates, your own authentication method, your own users, and your own passwords.
