+title: Running Demo-in-a-Box
+weight: 3
+description: Learn how to use Demo-in-a-Box to manage demos and otel collectors in an easy-to-use web interface.
+---
+
+**Demo-in-a-box** is a method for running demo apps easily using a web interface.
+
+It provides:
+* A quick way to deploy demo apps and states
+* A way to easily change configuration of your otel collector and see logs
+* Get pod status, pod logs, etc.
+
+To leverage this locally using multipass:
+* Follow the [local hosting for multipass](../multipass) instructions
+  * In the `terraform.tfvars` file, set `splunk_diab` to `true` and make sure **all** other options are set to `false`
+  * Then set the other required and important tokens/url
+  * Then run the terraform steps
+* Once the instance is up, navigate in your browser to: `http://<IP>:8083`
+  * In the `terraform.tfvars` file the `wsversion` defaults to the current version of the workshop e.g `4.64`:
+    * To use the latest developments change `wsversion` to use `main`
+    * There are only three versions of the workshop maintained, development (`main`) current (e.g. `4.64` and the previous (e.g. `4.63`)
+    * After making the change, run `terraform apply` to make the changes
+* Now you can deploy any of the demos; this will also deploy the collector as part of the deployment
