# Getting started with Bazel
This page lists material that will help you get started with Bazel. If you have
not already done so, first read the [Bazel Overview](bazel-overview.html).
## Installation
To install Bazel, see [Installing Bazel](install.html).
If you use Windows, please read also [Using Bazel on Windows](windows.html).
You might also want to [integrate Bazel with your IDE](ide.html).
## Bazel container
To try out Bazel inside a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) container, check out
our public Ubuntu Linux (16.04) based Bazel container in
[Google Cloud Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/google/bazel).
To get started with the Bazel container, check out [Getting started with Bazel Docker Container](bazel-container.html).
## Tutorials
To get hands-on with Bazel and understand its core concepts, complete a
tutorial:
* [Tutorial: Build a C++ Project](tutorial/cpp.html)
* [Tutorial: Build a Java Project](tutorial/java.html)

relate to each other, jump to the [Bazel Concepts](build-ref.html) page.
Once you are familiar with the basics, you can try the rules for
[other languages](rules.html).
