# Get Started

Dex runs your process as a Flow of Steps and continues it from the last
finished Step after a crash, a restart, or a long wait.

## Run the Quick Start

Install `dexcli` and start Dex on your machine:

```bash
brew install superdurable/tap/dexcli
dexcli dev
```

Then follow the [Quick Start](https://docs.superdurable.io/quick-start.md). It runs a Flow, stops its Worker
in the middle, and shows Dex continue the Flow. [Run Locally](https://docs.superdurable.io/components/run-locally.md)
shows how to install `dexcli` without Homebrew.

## Common tasks

- <a id="fix-a-process"></a>[Add Dex to existing code](https://docs.superdurable.io/intro/add-to-existing-code.md): turn a function, job, or queue consumer you already have into a Flow.
- <a id="durable-agent"></a>[Build a durable agent](https://docs.superdurable.io/agent-frameworks/quick-start.md): run an agent in your framework so its tool calls and approvals survive a restart.
- <a id="coding-agent"></a>[Let a coding agent write it](https://docs.superdurable.io/build-with-ai/dex-developer-skill.md): install the Dex Skills so your coding agent writes correct Dex code.
- <a id="evaluate-dex"></a>[Evaluate Dex](https://docs.superdurable.io/evaluate.md): how Dex compares with what you run today, its limits, and its measured numbers.

Dex Server runs in Dex Cloud or on your own infrastructure.
[Choose How to Run Dex](https://docs.superdurable.io/components/choose-how-to-run.md) compares the two.
