== Introduction
This project is focused on bringing a minimal http://github.com/openshift/origin[OpenShift 4.0 or newer] cluster to your local laptop or desktop computer.
If you are looking for a solution for running OpenShift 3.x, you will need tools such as `oc cluster up`, http://github.com/minishift/minishift[Minishift] or https://developers.redhat.com/products/cdk/overview/[CDK].
Check back for updates, we plan to have something available "soon".
