Getting Started
===============

The easiest way to get started with Piscis is via `NimbusImage <https://github.com/arjunrajlaboratory/NimbusImage>`_ , a cloud-computing platform for image analysis. If you prefer a local installation, please see :doc:`Installation <installation>`.

**Step 1: Sign Up for NimbusImage**

While NimbusImage can be installed locally, we strongly recommend you start by trying NimbusImage from an existing server. Visit `nimbusimage.com <https://nimbusimage.com>`_ to sign up for a free account.

**Step 2: Upload a Dataset**
