# Cuttlefish Getting Started
## Try Cuttlefish
1. Make sure virtualization with KVM is available.
```bash
grep -c -w "vmx\|svm" /proc/cpuinfo
```
This should return a non-zero value. If running on a cloud machine, this may
take cloud-vendor-specific steps to enable. For Google Compute Engine
specifically, see the [GCE guide].
[GCE guide]: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/enable-nested-virtualization-vm-instances
2. Download, build, and install the host debian package:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/google/android-cuttlefish
cd android-cuttlefish
debuild -i -us -uc -b
sudo dpkg -i ../cuttlefish-common_*_amd64.deb || sudo apt-get install -f
sudo reboot
```
The reboot will trigger installing additional kernel modules and applying
udev rules.
3. Go to http://ci.android.com/
4. Enter a branch name. Start with `aosp-master` if you don't know what you're
looking for
5. Navigate to `aosp_cf_x86_64_phone` and click on `userdebug` for the latest build
6. Click on `Artifacts`
7. Scroll down to the OTA images. These packages look like
`aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-img-xxxxxx.zip` -- it will always have `img` in the name.
Download this file
8. Scroll down to `cvd-host_package.tar.gz`. You should always download a host
package from the same build as your images.
9. On your local system, combine the packages:
```bash
mkdir cf
cd cf
tar xvf /path/to/cvd-host_package.tar.gz
unzip /path/to/aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-img-xxxxxx.zip
```
10. Launch cuttlefish with:
`$ HOME=$PWD ./bin/launch_cvd`
11. Stop cuttlefish with:
`$ HOME=$PWD ./bin/stop_cvd`
## Debug Cuttlefish
You can use `adb` to debug it, just like a physical device:
`$ ./bin/adb -e shell`
## Launch Viewer (WebRTC)
When launching with `---start_webrtc` (the default), you can see a list of all
available devices at `https://localhost:8443` . For more information, see the
WebRTC on Cuttlefish
[documentation](https://source.android.com/setup/create/cuttlefish-ref-webrtc).
## Launch Viewer (VNC)
When launching with `--start_vnc_server=true` , You can use the
[TightVNC JViewer](https://www.tightvnc.com/download.php). Once you have
downloaded the *TightVNC Java Viewer JAR in a ZIP archive*, run it with
`$ java -jar tightvnc-jviewer.jar -ScalingFactor=50 -Tunneling=no -host=localhost -port=6444`
Click "Connect" and you should see a lock screen!
