# Getting Started with Your Own System

If you haven't used ReSim before, start with the [tutorial](../tutorials/first-batch.md) — it walks you through a complete project from scratch using pre-built demo images, with no Docker or AWS setup required.

This section covers the same steps with your own system: your Docker images, your experiences, and your metrics.
