# Getting started

There are three ways to get started with Silius:

1. Building and running from source.
2. Running in Docker.
3. Using Silius crates in your project.

### Building and running from source

As with other Rust projects, you can build Silius from source with the Cargo package manager. For more information, click [**here**](/silius/tutorials/building-and-running-from-source.md).

### Running in Docker

There is a Docker image available on the [**GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io)**](https://github.com/Vid201/silius/pkgs/container/silius) that is updated on an ongoing basis as the new features are developed. For more information, click [**here**](/silius/tutorials/docker.md).

### Using Silius crates in your project

Silius is created from several crates that can be reused and imported into any Rust project. For more information, click [**here**](/silius/overview/project-structure.md).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://silius.gitbook.io/silius/overview/getting-started.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
