**Quick Start command line ** - easy to run, but with very limited options so only suitable for simple scans

**Docker Packaged Scans ** - the easiest way to get started with ZAP automation with lots of flexibility

**GitHub Actions ** - the associated packaged scans available on the GitHub Marketplace
