Getting started with Clear Linux* OS for Intel® Architecture
############################################################
Getting Started
###############
**Note:** To improve quality, the Telemetry service is enabled by default. See the `Telemetry feature page <https://clearlinux.org/features/telemetry>`_ for more details. Use the ``telemctl`` command to manage this service.
There are a number of ways to download and run Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture.
The most `current <http://download.clearlinux.org/current/>`_ image options can
be found in our image directory. For older ones, see our `releases <https://download.clearlinux.org/releases>`_ page.
Options for downloading and running Clear Linux OS for Intel® Architecture:
KVM Image
=========
Download a recent KVM image along with the UEFI firmware helper ``OVMF.fd`` and
the KVM start helper script ``start_qemu.sh.`` See :ref:`vm-kvm` for details. Find
the ``clear-[version_number]-kvm.img.xz`` image in our `current`_ directory.

See :ref:`vm-kvm` for details.
Live Image
==========
With the live image you can boot right into Clear in a VM, or you can lay the image down
on a USB drive with a tool like ``dd`` and boot from USB. This is a great
way to kick the tires with a minimal amount of effort.
Installer Image
===============
The installer image allows you to manipulate and target partitions, and to set
other OS configuration features (hostname, administrative user) commonly found in
Linux Installers. See :ref:`gs_installing_clr_as_host` on a target computer for more information.

to kick the tires with a minimal amount of effort. Find the ``clear-[version_number]
-live.img.xz`` image in our `current`_ directory. **Warning** -- if you do not manually
configure the install and instead use the auto-install, it will repartition ``/dev/sda``.

**CAUTION** If you do not manually configure the install and
instead use the auto-install, it will repartition ``/dev/sda``.
Provisioning Image
==================
**CAUTION:** This image is intended to be used in a provioning environment. The installer will
repartition ``/dev/sda`` and install Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture into the new
partition. Don't use this on a system where you care about the data on ``/dev/sda``.
This image is intended to be used in a provioning environment. Find the
``clear-[version_number]-provision.img.xz`` image in our `current`_ directory.
.. warning::
This installer repartitions ``/dev/sda`` and installs Clear Linux OS for Intel
Architecture into the new partition. Don't use this image on a system where you
care about existing data on ``/dev/sda``.
Container Evaluation
====================
Clear Containers for Docker* Engine is now available on multiple
operating systems. This enables executing existing Docker applications
in the secure and fast Clear Containers environment.
See :ref:`gs-clear-containers-gettting-started` for details.
