Thanks, but any documentation how to start it locally? Commands, or steps would be nice! Tnx!

There is nothing special to start Strapi locally since this is default. If you want to start Strapi having specific host you need to customize server.js file. See docs.

npm install
npm run develop
then I can go to localhost:1337/admin.

Tnx anyway.
