## 📥 Getting Started

Choose your preferred installation method:

### Method 1: One-Click Web Installer

The fastest way to get started:

1. Visit **[helper-scripts.com](https://helper-scripts.com/)** 🌐
2. Search for your desired script (e.g., "Home Assistant", "Docker")
3. Copy the bash command displayed on the script page
4. Open your **Proxmox Shell** and paste the command
5. Press Enter and follow the interactive prompts

### Method 2: PVEScripts-Local

Install a convenient script manager directly in your Proxmox UI:

```bash
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/pve-scripts-local.sh)"
```

This adds a menu to your Proxmox interface for easy script access without visiting the website.
