+# Quick Start
+
+Viralgenie needs two things:
+
+ 1. [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io/)
+ 2. [Docker](https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container/) - [Singularity](https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/latest/user-guide/introduction.html) - [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/)
+
+```bash
+# Install nextflow with conda
+conda install nextflow
+```
+
+Run the pipeline with a small test dataset with docker containers:
+```bash
+nextflow run Joon-Klaps/viralgenie \
+    -profile test,docker
+```
+
+> For a more complete guide on how to set up Nextflow, Docker, Singularity, and Conda, see the [installation guide](installation.md).
+
+## Running viralgenie with your own samples
+
+```bash
+nextflow run Joon-Klaps/viralgenie \
+    -profile test,docker \
+    --input my_samplesheet.csv
+```
+
+An input file contains the paths to the fastq files and the sample names. The input file can be in TSV, CSV, YAML, or JSON format.
+
+=== "TSV"
+
+    ```tsv title="input-samplesheet.tsv"
