    Quick Start
  </h2>

  <p className="text-base text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400 mb-8">
    Get Graph Node running in minutes with Docker
  </p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Install Prerequisites">
      Ensure you have Docker, PostgreSQL, and IPFS installed on your system.

      ```bash theme={null}
      # Verify Docker installation
      docker --version
      ```
    </Step>

    <Step title="Clone and Configure">
      Clone the repository and set up your configuration file.

      ```bash theme={null}
      git clone https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node
      cd graph-node
      ```
    </Step>

    <Step title="Start with Docker Compose">
      Launch Graph Node, IPFS, and PostgreSQL using Docker Compose.

      ```bash theme={null}
      docker-compose up
      ```

      <Accordion title="Expected Output">
        ```
        graph-node_1  | Starting JSON-RPC admin server at: http://localhost:8020
        graph-node_1  | Starting GraphQL HTTP server at: http://localhost:8000
        graph-node_1  | Starting index node server at: http://localhost:8030
        ```
      </Accordion>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Access GraphQL Endpoint">
      Graph Node is now running. Access the GraphiQL interface at `http://localhost:8000`.

      You can query subgraphs using:

      ```
      http://localhost:8000/subgraphs/name/<subgraph-name>
      ```
