+description: How to install OpenDC locally, and start experimenting in no time.
+---
+
+# Installation
+
+This page describes how to set up and configure a local single-user OpenDC installation so that you can quickly get your
+experiments running. You can also use the [hosted version of OpenDC](https://app.opendc.org) to get started even
+quicker (The web server is however missing some more complex features).
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Supported Platforms**
+ OpenDC is actively tested on Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.
+2. **Required Software**
+ A Java installation of version 19 or higher is required for OpenDC. You may download the
+ [Java distribution from Oracle](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/) or use the distribution provided
+ by your package manager.
+
+## Download
+
+To get an OpenDC distribution, download a recent version from our [Releases](https://github.com/atlarge-research/opendc/releases) page on GitHub.
+For basic usage, the OpenDCExperimentRunner is all that is needed.
+
+## Setup
+
+Unpack the downloaded OpenDC distribution. Opening OpenDCExperimentRunner results in two folders, `bin` and `lib`.
+`lib` contains all `.jar` files needed to run OpenDC. `bin` two executable versions of the OpenDCExperimentRunner.
+In the following pages, we discuss how to run an experiment using the executables.
