# 🚀 Quick Start
Read our guide on getting started with a Computer-Use Agent:
[Computer-Use Agent Quickstart](https://docs.trycua.com/home/guides/usage-guide)
Get started using Cua services on your machine:
[Cua Usage Guide](https://docs.trycua.com/home/guides/cua-usage-guide)
Set up a development environment with the Dev Container:
[Dev Container Setup](https://docs.trycua.com/home/guides/dev-container-setup)
## Lume
For managing and creating virtual machines on macOS, check out [Lume](./libs/lume/README.md).
```bash
# Install Lume CLI and background service
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trycua/cua/main/libs/lume/scripts/install.sh | bash
# Pull a VM image
lume pull macos-sequoia-cua:latest
# Create a new VM
lume create my-vm --os macos --cpu 4 --memory 8GB --disk-size 50GB
# Run a VM (creates and starts if it doesn't exist)
lume run macos-sequoia-cua:latest
# Stop a VM
lume stop macos-sequoia-cua_latest
```
## Lumier
For advanced container-like virtualization, check out [Lumier](./libs/lumier/README.md) - a Docker interface for macOS and Linux VMs.
```bash
# Install Lume CLI and background service
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trycua/cua/main/libs/lume/scripts/install.sh | bash
# Run macOS in a Docker container
docker run -it --rm \
--name lumier-vm \
-p 8006:8006 \
-v $(pwd)/storage:/storage \
-v $(pwd)/shared:/shared \
-e VM_NAME=lumier-vm \
-e VERSION=ghcr.io/trycua/macos-sequoia-cua:latest \
-e CPU_CORES=4 \
-e RAM_SIZE=8192 \
-e HOST_STORAGE_PATH=$(pwd)/storage \
-e HOST_SHARED_PATH=$(pwd)/shared \
