# Starting a Llama Stack Server
You can run a Llama Stack server in one of the following ways:
## As a Library:
This is the simplest way to get started. Using Llama Stack as a library means you do not need to start a server. This is especially useful when you are not running inference locally and relying on an external inference service (eg. fireworks, together, groq, etc.) See [Using Llama Stack as a Library](importing_as_library)
## Container:
Another simple way to start interacting with Llama Stack is to just spin up a container (via Docker or Podman) which is pre-built with all the providers you need. We provide a number of pre-built images so you can start a Llama Stack server instantly. You can also build your own custom container. Which distribution to choose depends on the hardware you have. See [Selection of a Distribution](./list_of_distributions) for more details.
## Kubernetes:
If you have built a container image and want to deploy it in a Kubernetes cluster instead of starting the Llama Stack server locally. See [Kubernetes Deployment Guide](../deploying/kubernetes_deployment) for more details.
