## 1. Clone the Quickstart Guide

we will be using
the [walt.id enterprise quickstart repository](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-enterprise-quickstart). It can be used
to explore enterprise
features via a CLI tool and/or to bring up the whole stack using Docker Compose. We will CLI tool for this guide.

**Clone the repo**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-enterprise-quickstart.git
```

**Change Working Directory**

```bash
cd waltid-enterprise-quickstart
```

**Add Docker Token**

Save the docker-access token provided by walt.id to get access to the private enterprise stack img.

```bash
echo "DOCKER_TOKEN_PROVIDED_BY_WALT_ID_HERE" > .docker-token
```

## 2. Start the Enterprise API

```bash
./waltid-enterprise run
```

## 3. Run The Wizard

**Note:**

Make sure to open a second window in your terminal and keep the Enterprise Stack running in the other.

<br/>

**Run CLI wizard**

```bash
./waltid-enterprise wizard
```
