# Get Started in 5 Minutes
(For production-grade installations, visit the [Install Docs](https://netmaker.readthedocs.io/en/master/install.html).)
1. Get a cloud VM with Ubuntu 22.04 and a public IP.
2. Open ports 443, 80, and 51821-51830/udp on the VM firewall and in cloud security settings.
3. (optional) Prepare DNS - Set a wildcard subdomain in your DNS for Netmaker, e.g. *.netmaker.example.com
4. Run the script:
`sudo wget -qO /root/nm-quick.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gravitl/netmaker/master/scripts/nm-quick.sh && sudo chmod +x /root/nm-quick.sh && sudo /root/nm-quick.sh`
This script gives you the option to deploy the Community or Enterprise version of Netmaker. If deploying Enterprise, you get a free account with a 50 node limit by default. It also gives you the option to use your own domain (recommended) or an auto-generated domain.
After installing Netmaker, check out the [Walkthrough](https://itnext.io/getting-started-with-netmaker-a-wireguard-virtual-networking-platform-3d563fbd87f0) and [Getting Started](https://netmaker.readthedocs.io/en/master/getting-started.html) guides to learn more about configuring networks.
