Getting started

Once you've downloaded a Pulsar release, instructions on getting up and running with a {% popover standalone %} cluster that you can run your laptop can be found in [Run Pulsar locally](../docs/{{ site.current_version }}/getting-started/LocalCluster).

If you need to connect to an existing Pulsar {% popover cluster %} or {% popover instance %} using an officially supported client, see client docs for these languages:
