> Starting with InfluxDB 3 Enterprise v3.11, Explorer is included with

InfluxDB 3 Explorer is the web application for visualizing, querying, and managing your data stored in InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise.
Explorer provides an intuitive interface for interacting with your time series data, streamlining database operations and enhancing data insights.

## Key features

Use InfluxDB 3 Explorer for:

* **Database management**: Create and manage InfluxDB 3 instances, databases, tokens, plugins, and more
* **Data visualization and analysis**: Query data with a built-in visualizer for enhanced data insights
* **Data ingestion**: Write new data and setup Telegraf configurations

## Quick start

How you install InfluxDB 3 Explorer depends on your InfluxDB 3 server:

* **InfluxDB 3 Enterprise v3.11 and later** includes Explorer as an
  integrated WASM component. See[Use the integrated Explorer UI](/influxdb3/enterprise/admin/explorer-ui/).

* **InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise** can run Explorer as a standalone Docker
  container. Docker is required for Core and Enterprise earlier than v3.11:

  ```
  # Pull the Docker image
  docker pull influxdata/influxdb3-ui

  # Run the Docker container
  docker run --detach \
    --name influxdb3-explorer \
    --publish 8080:8080 \
    --publish 8443:8443 \
    influxdata/influxdb3-ui \
    --mode=admin

  # Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser to begin using InfluxDB 3 Explorer
  ```
