For a _very_ quick start, open a GitHub Codespace to load a pre-configured Docker container and familiarize yourself with MFC commands.
Click <> Code (green button at top right) → Codespaces (right tab) → + (create a codespace).
+Alternatively, run MFC directly with Docker on your local machine:
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm --entrypoint bash sbryngelson/mfc:latest-cpu
+```
+Once inside the container, navigate to `/opt/MFC` to access MFC and run examples.
