# 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, do the following:

1. Add Insights to your workspace. Access your **Workspace settings** and turn on **Insights**.

   <img alt="Enable Insights" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/v11/insights-enable-v11.45.jpg" />

2. Select **Insights** from the sidebar 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.
