## Quick Start

You can run Viash components from `r pkg` in several ways:

**🌐 Via Viash Hub Web UI**: Interactive interface with documentation and examples  
**⚡ As Standalone Executables**: Direct command-line execution  
**🔄 Via Nextflow**: Local or cloud-based pipeline workflows  

For detailed instructions on each method, visit the **[Viash Hub documentation →](https://viash-hub.com/packages/`r pkg`)** where each component page shows exactly how to run it in different environments.
