There are multiple different sections in the documentation to help you get started with operating a Pinot cluster. If you are new to Pinot, start with the basics.

To get started with operating a Pinot cluster, first look at the tutorials in Getting Started on how to run a basic pinot cluster in various environments.
{% content-ref url="../../basics/getting-started/running-pinot-locally.md" %} running-pinot-locally.md {% endcontent-ref %}
{% content-ref url="../../basics/getting-started/kubernetes-quickstart.md" %} kubernetes-quickstart.md {% endcontent-ref %}
You can then proceed to the more advanced Pinot setup in production environment.
