-This guide helps you set up Unleash in just a few minutes. The fastest way to get started is by using [Docker](#set-up-unleash-with-docker). If Docker doesn't work for you, see [other ways to try Unleash](#other-ways-to-try-unleash).

-### Connect an SDK
+## Connect an SDK
 
 Next, use one of the client or server-side [SDKs](/reference/sdks) to connect Unleash with your application.
 
-1. Create an API token:
-    - For client-side SDKs, use a [frontend token](/reference/api-tokens-and-client-keys#frontend-tokens). 
-    - For server-side SDKs, use a [client token](/reference/api-tokens-and-client-keys#client-tokens).
-2. Determine your Unleash URL:
-    - For client-side SDKs, use `<your-unleash-instance>/api/frontend`. 
-    - For server-side SDKs, use `<your-unleash-instance>/api`.
-3. Use the SDK to connect to Unleash in your application.

-The following example shows how to use the [JavaScript SDK](/reference/sdks/javascript-browser) and the [Node.js SDK](/reference/sdks/node) to connect to your Unleash instance:

-## Other ways to try Unleash
-
-### Unleash demo instance
-
-You can also use the [Unleash demo instance](https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/) to test different use cases before setting up your own instance. The demo instance is available at `https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/`.
-
-To run tests on this instance, use the following API URLs and keys:
-
-- **Client-side:**
-  - API URL: `https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api/frontend`
-  - Frontend key: `demo-app:default.bf8d2a449a025d1715a28f218dd66a40ef4dcc97b661398f7e05ba67`
-- **Server-side:**
-  - API URL: `https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api`
-  - Client key: `56907a2fa53c1d16101d509a10b78e36190b0f918d9f122d`
-
-To test the credentials and retrieve feature flags, run this command:
-
-```shell
-curl https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api/client/features \
--H "Authorization: 56907a2fa53c1d16101d509a10b78e36190b0f918d9f122d"
