## Getting started
Use dbt in the following ways:
- Install dbt Core locally in your environment to transform data. dbt Core is suitable for users who prefer to manually set up dbt through a CLI and locally maintain it.

- [Install dbt Core](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/get-started/installation) or explore the [dbt Cloud CLI](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/cloud/cloud-cli-installation), a command-line interface powered by [dbt Cloud](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/cloud/about-cloud/dbt-cloud-features) that enhances collaboration.
- Read the [introduction](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/introduction/) and [viewpoint](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/about/viewpoint/)
- Use [dbt Cloud](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/cloud/about-cloud/dbt-cloud-features), a cloud-based environment that offers the fastest, most reliable, and scalable way to deploy dbt. Develop using the [dbt Cloud CLI](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/cloud/cloud-cli-installation) or [browser-based IDE](https://www.getdbt.com/resources/webinars/dbt-cloud-demos-with-experts) to test, schedule, and investigate data models in a unified web-based UI.
