# Local CLI User Guide

This page covers the **local CLI** path. For operator-managed deployments on a Kubernetes cluster, see the [Kubernetes User Guide](/dynamo/dev/kubernetes/getting-started/introduction).

## Jump Right In

#### [Quickstart](/dynamo/dev/cli/getting-started/quickstart)

Start the frontend and a model worker on one machine.

#### [Model Deployment Overview](/dynamo/dev/cli/model-deployment/introduction)

Serve a model with a frontend and worker, then explore larger deployment patterns.

#### Getting Started

#### [Quickstart](/dynamo/dev/cli/getting-started/quickstart)

Start the frontend and a model worker on one machine.

#### Installation

Install Dynamo and prepare the local services used by the frontend and workers.

#### [Install Dynamo](/dynamo/dev/cli/installation/install-dynamo)

Install from a container or Python package.

#### [Minikube Setup](/dynamo/dev/cli/installation/minikube-setup)

Use a local Kubernetes cluster when you need to test Kubernetes resources.

#### [Observability Setup](/dynamo/dev/cli/installation/observability)

Configure local metrics and telemetry dependencies.

#### Model Deployment

Start with an aggregated deployment, then add routing, disaggregation, multiple nodes, or KV cache offloading as needed.

#### [Model Deployment Introduction](/dynamo/dev/cli/model-deployment/introduction)

Serve a model with a frontend and worker on one machine.

#### [KV-Aware Routing](/dynamo/dev/cli/model-deployment/kv-aware-routing)

Route requests according to cached prompt prefixes.

#### [Disaggregated Serving](/dynamo/dev/cli/model-deployment/disaggregated-serving)

Run prefill and decode as separate workers.

#### [Multi-Node Deployment](/dynamo/dev/cli/model-deployment/multi-node-deployment)

Run a CLI deployment across multiple machines.

#### [KV Cache Offloading](/dynamo/dev/cli/model-deployment/kv-cache-offloading)

Extend KV cache capacity beyond GPU memory.

#### Operations

Monitor the local deployment and expose health endpoints for automation.

#### [Observability](/dynamo/dev/cli/operations/observability)

Inspect metrics, logs, traces, request captures, and process health.
