# Start and stopping instances
Before you can use the Spearhead Cloud you must create and account and provide your billing details.
## Using the Spearhead Cloud Portal
TBD: shortly
## Using the Spearhead CLI Tool
First install the [Spearhead CLI Tool](https://docs.spearhead.cloud/spearhead-cli/).
Now you can use the ```spearhead``` command to create your infrastructure container by running ```spearhead instance create```. Here is an example of launching a debian container:
```spearhead create -n webdeb -w debian-8 s1-general-1-2-100```
The command parameters define:
1. -n (--name) provides the name of the container. In our case it is "webdeb".
2. -w "waits" for the container to be created before returning the prompt.
3. We are using debian-8 as our image<sub>1</sub>.
4. We are using s1-general-1-2-100 as our package<sub>2</sub>.
<sup>1</sup><sub>to view available images use ```spearhead images```</sub>
<sup>2</sup><sub>to view available packages use ```spearhead packages```</sub>
## Deleting your instances
Once you are finished using your instances you can delete them using the ```speahread``` CLI tool or using the Spearhead Cloud Portal.
