Quickstart
==========

To quickly get the TensorRT Inference Server (TRTIS) up and running
follow these steps. After you've seen TRTIS in action you can revisit
the rest of the User Guide to learn more about its features.

First, follow the instructions in
:ref:`section-installing-prebuilt-containers` to install the TRTIS
container.

Next, use the :ref:`section-example-model-repository` section to
create an example model repository containing a couple of models that
you can serve with TRTIS.

Now that you have a model repository, follow the instructions in
:ref:`section-running-the-inference-server` to start TRTIS. Use the
server's *Status* endpoint to :ref:`make sure the server and the
models are ready for
inferencing<section-checking-inference-server-status>`.

Finally,
:ref:`build<section-building-the-client-libraries-and-examples>` and
:ref:`run<section-image_classification_example>` the example
image-client application to perform image classification using TRTIS.
