[[intro-to-crc]]
== Introduction

This project is focused on bringing a minimal http://github.com/openshift/origin[OpenShift 4.x] cluster to your local laptop or desktop computer.

If you are looking for a solution for running OpenShift 3.x, you will need tools such as `oc cluster up`, http://github.com/minishift/minishift[Minishift] or https://developers.redhat.com/products/cdk/overview/[CDK].

[[usage-data]]
== Usage data

The first time CodeReady Containers is run, you will be asked to opt-in to Red Hat's telemetry collection program.

With your approval, CodeReady Containers collects pseudonymized usage data and sends it to Red Hat servers to help improve our products and services. Read our https://developers.redhat.com/article/tool-data-collection[privacy statement] to learn more about it. For the specific data points being collected, see xref:usage-data.adoc#data-table[Usage data].

=== Manually configuring usage data collection

You can manually change your preference about usage data collection by running `crc config set consent-telemetry <yes/no>` before the next `crc start`.
