1. The BigchainDB Test Network (or "Testnet") is a free-to-use, publicly-available BigchainDB network that you can test against. You can find out more about the BigchainDB Testnet on [the BigchainDB "Get Started" page](https://www.bigchaindb.com/developers/getstarted/#server).

Another way is to use one of the deployment methods listed in the [the docs about contributing to BigchainDB](https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/contributing/en/latest/index.html).
Regardless of which BigchainDB network you use, you'll probably use one of the [BigchainDB drivers or tools](https://www.bigchaindb.com/getstarted/#drivers).

## Old Quickstart
If you want something like the old Quickstart page, i.e. some command-line instructions to set up and run a BigchainDB node, then see [the notes on running a local dev node in the docs about contributing to BigchainDB](https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/contributing/en/latest/dev-setup-coding-and-contribution-process/index.html).
