# Installation Impulse is run using Docker images. You could use google cloud to host a kubernetes cluster. You can also run Impulse locally with either Docker-Compose or Minikube. Keep in mind that when connecting to Impulse, the path and ports required will be different between gcloud, Docker-Compose and Minikube. If you are unable to connect, check that you are connecting to the correct URL. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
