3. Then, open your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to install RudderStack, and run the following command:

docker-compose -f rudder-docker.yml up

Self-hosted control plane

If you have self-hosted the control plane using the open-source Control Plane Lite utility, follow Docker instructions to set up the data plane.

Sending test events

Once you have successfully performed the steps above, follow the Sending Test Events guide to verify the installation.
