First steps

New to the platform? This section is where to start. It gives you enough of the model to hold the whole product in your head, then walks you from an empty fleet to the numbers of your first benchmark. Read it in order:

1. The Platform at a glance: what the platform is and is not, who it is for, and the five ideas the rest is built on.
2. Tutorial: your first benchmark: six parts, each a complete step, with concepts explained where they first appear. Take the tour, add your first device, pick a device, add a model, run a benchmark, and read the results.
3. What to read next: where to go once you have a result.

You need an account on a CLIKA Platform deployment, and a machine you can install software on. The tutorial's second part registers that machine and says what qualifies; if your team already runs a fleet you can skip it. Accounts are created by a platform administrator.

How the Platform docs are layered

• This section orients: condensed, in reading order, concepts woven in.
• Concepts: one page per object (organization, project, device, model, artifact, benchmark, job, service, deployment), for when you need the full picture of one thing.
• How-to guides: problem-oriented recipes, from writing a job definition to setting up MCP for Claude.
• CLI reference: every clika-rt command with its arguments and flags.
