# Running Runbooks

To preview rundown, use the `fig run` CLI command.

## Running Local Rundown Files

Let's say you have an Interactive Runbook called `deploy.run` on your Desktop. In your Terminal:

1. Navigate to your Desktop 
2. **Run**: `fig run deploy`

**Note**: You do not need the .run file extension in the CLI command

You can try this with the [examples here](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/rundown-examples.md)

## From The Web

If you have the URL to a Rundown or Markdown file, you can preview it instantly in Fig with `fig run [url]`

```
fig run https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ibraheem4/ce5ccd3e4d7a65589ce84f2a3b7c23a3/raw/7db00a7f09f4f688f19eb404fbeaed02f05d5cb3/postgres-brew.md
```

**Note**: Make sure you have the URL of the **raw** markdown or rundown. On github, this is available with the raw button
