 ## Quick Start
 
-### 1. Docker (For Test)
+### TL;DR - 5 Minutes Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Start HugeGraph with Docker
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -p 8080:8080 hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
 
-Use Docker to quickly start a HugeGraph server with `RocksDB` (in the 
background) for **testing or development**:
+# Verify server is running
+curl http://localhost:8080/apis/version
 
+# Try a Gremlin query
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/gremlin \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"gremlin":"g.V().limit(5)"}'
 ```
-# (Optional) 
-# - add "-e PRELOAD=true" to auto-load a sample graph
-docker run -itd --name=graph -e PASSWORD=xxx -p 8080:8080 
hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+
+> **Production Note**: For production environments or public network exposure, 
you **must** enable the 
[AuthSystem](https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/config/config-authentication/) 
for security.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Java 11+** (required)
+- **Maven 3.5+** (for building from source)
+
+Verify your environment:
+```bash
+java -version   # Should show Java 11 or higher
+mvn -version    # Should show Maven 3.5+
 ```
 
-Please visit [doc 
page](https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/quickstart/hugegraph-server/#3-deploy) 
or
-the [README](hugegraph-server/hugegraph-dist/docker/README.md) for more 
details. ([Docker Compose](./hugegraph-server/hugegraph-dist/docker/example))
+### Option 1: Docker (Fastest)
+
+Docker is the quickest way to get started for **testing or development**:
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -p 8080:8080 hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+
+# With sample graph preloaded
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -e PRELOAD=true -p 8080:8080 
hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+
+# With authentication enabled
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -e PASSWORD=your_password -p 8080:8080 
hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+```
 
-> Note:
-> 1. The Docker image of HugeGraph is a convenience release, but not 
**official distribution** artifacts. You can find more details from [ASF 
Release Distribution 
Policy](https://infra.apache.org/release-distribution.html#dockerhub).
-> 2. Recommend to use `release tag` (like `1.7.0`/`1.x.0`) for the stable 
version. Use `latest` tag to experience the newest functions in development.

+   - Install Java 11+ and Maven 3.5+
+   - Follow [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md) for build instructions
+   - Import `hugegraph-style.xml` into your IDE for code style

Review Comment:
   The file `hugegraph-style.xml` referenced here does not exist in the 
repository. The project uses `.editorconfig` for IDE code style configuration 
and `style/checkstyle.xml` for Maven checkstyle validation. Consider updating 
this reference to point to `.editorconfig` or removing the reference to a 
non-existent file.
   ```suggestion
      - Configure your IDE to use `.editorconfig` for code style and 
`style/checkstyle.xml` for Checkstyle rules

+</details>
 
 ## Quick Start
 
-### 1. Docker (For Test)
+### TL;DR - 5 Minutes Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Start HugeGraph with Docker
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -p 8080:8080 hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
 
-Use Docker to quickly start a HugeGraph server with `RocksDB` (in the 
background) for **testing or development**:
+# Verify server is running
+curl http://localhost:8080/apis/version
 
+# Try a Gremlin query
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/gremlin \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"gremlin":"g.V().limit(5)"}'
 ```
-# (Optional) 
-# - add "-e PRELOAD=true" to auto-load a sample graph
-docker run -itd --name=graph -e PASSWORD=xxx -p 8080:8080 
hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+
+> **Production Note**: For production environments or public network exposure, 
you **must** enable the 
[AuthSystem](https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/config/config-authentication/) 
for security.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Java 11+** (required)
+- **Maven 3.5+** (for building from source)
+
+Verify your environment:
+```bash
+java -version   # Should show Java 11 or higher
+mvn -version    # Should show Maven 3.5+
 ```
 
-Please visit [doc 
page](https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/quickstart/hugegraph-server/#3-deploy) 
or
-the [README](hugegraph-server/hugegraph-dist/docker/README.md) for more 
details. ([Docker Compose](./hugegraph-server/hugegraph-dist/docker/example))
+### Option 1: Docker (Fastest)
+
+Docker is the quickest way to get started for **testing or development**:
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -p 8080:8080 hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+
+# With sample graph preloaded
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -e PRELOAD=true -p 8080:8080 
hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+
+# With authentication enabled
+docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -e PASSWORD=your_password -p 8080:8080 
hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0
+```
 
-> Note:
-> 1. The Docker image of HugeGraph is a convenience release, but not 
**official distribution** artifacts. You can find more details from [ASF 
Release Distribution 
Policy](https://infra.apache.org/release-distribution.html#dockerhub).
-> 2. Recommend to use `release tag` (like `1.7.0`/`1.x.0`) for the stable 
version. Use `latest` tag to experience the newest functions in development.
+For advanced Docker configurations, see:

+tar -xzf apache-hugegraph-incubating-{version}.tar.gz
+cd apache-hugegraph-incubating-{version}
+
+# Initialize backend storage
+bin/init-store.sh
+
+# Start server
+bin/start-hugegraph.sh
+
+# Check server status
+bin/monitor-hugegraph.sh
+```
+
+For detailed instructions, see the [Binary Installation 
Guide](https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/quickstart/hugegraph-server/#32-download-the-binary-tar-tarball).
+
+### Option 3: Build from Source
+
+Build from source for development or customization:
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/apache/hugegraph.git
+cd hugegraph
+
+# Build all modules (skip tests for faster build)
+mvn clean package -DskipTests
+
+# Extract built package
+cd install-dist/target
+tar -xzf hugegraph-{version}.tar.gz
+cd hugegraph-{version}
+
+# Initialize and start
+bin/init-store.sh
+bin/start-hugegraph.sh
+```
 
-**Note:** if you want to use it in the production environment or expose it to 
the public network, you must enable the 
[AuthSystem](https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/config/config-authentication/) 
to ensure safety.
