Need help with setting up confluence?

[Greg Call]

I am trying to set up confluence on my mac. I can't launch the confluence download. super frustrating. can i get some help?

I suggest using Docker so that you can set up a local install of Confluence. I have made some simple instructions for you to follow:

1. Download & install Docker https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/
2. (IN TERMINAL) docker run --detach --publish 8080:8080 cptactionhank/atlassian-confluence:latest
3. (IN BROWSER) http://localhost:8080/

ok. i think this is not what i want. I want the cloud based confluence license. Any idea on how to switch. I think i choose server when i wanted cloud??

Ah. Okay try this link- https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/try

Check this page https://my.atlassian.com/product. You might already have a cloud site.
