Hi @preetmehar , welcome to the community! You want to build the code or deploy a controller? If you want to try setting up an overlay network you should start with one of the quickstarts that works for you. Start by checking out the docs over at [Start Cooking With Ziti | Ziti](https://openziti.github.io/ziti/quickstarts/quickstart-overview.html)

If you’re looking to build and compile the controller you’ll need to be familiar with go. You can build the OpenZiti/ziti project, found over on GitHub at [GitHub - openziti/ziti: The parent project for OpenZiti. Here you will find the executables for a fully zero trust, application embedded, programmable network](https://github.com/openziti/ziti)
