# Try a local Insights demo

You can explore a demo of Postman Insights capabilities on a local Docker instance. A prerequisite for the demo is that you've locally installed and configured [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started/).

To get started with the demo, do the following:

1. To add Insights to your workspace, access your **Workspace settings** and turn on **Insights**.

2. From the sidebar, expand **Insights** and click **Try a local demo**. This action creates a new Insights project.

3. Copy the agent install script. The script installs the Insights Agent to generate traffic in Docker. It contains your project ID (formatted as *svc\_xxxxxxxxxx*) and API key. The project ID is autopopulated, but if you need to retrieve it, you'll find it in the **Diagnostics** tab. To insert your API key, click **Generate Key** or **Use Existing Key**.

4. Run the script on your command line. You'll need to input your local password to start the install. Your Docker container will show your API traffic.

**Command not working?** Check that the Docker port number in the command line matches the port number where you're running Docker.
