# Quick Start
## Give n8n a spin
To spin up n8n to have a look you can run:
```bash
npx n8n
```
It will then download everything which is needed and start n8n.
You can then access n8n by opening:
[http://localhost:5678](http://localhost:5678)
## Start with docker
To just play around a little bit you can start n8n with docker.
```bash
docker run -it --rm \
--name n8n \
-p 5678:5678 \
n8nio/n8n
```
Be aware that all data will be lost once the docker container got removed. To
persist the data mount the `~/.n8n` folder:
```bash
docker run -it --rm \
--name n8n \
-p 5678:5678 \
-v ~/.n8n:/root/.n8n \
n8nio/n8n
```
More information about the Docker setup can be found the README of the
[Docker Image](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/docker/images/n8n/README.md)
