Get Docker

Summary of steps to get the latest release of Docker, without using the Linux distribution version.

See the appropriate "Getting Started" page at docker.com, I will focus on the Linux page (see also: Mac OSX and Windows options).

Install Docker: Linux

Steps taken from https://docs.docker.com/v1.11/linux/step_one (See also: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)

• NOTE Ensure Docker is not installed already (and if so check version)

    $ sudo docker info
    [sudo] password for 3t4: 
    sudo: docker: command not found
    $ 
  

• Install curl if not already installed:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install curl
  

• Get Docker repo key

    curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  

• Get Docker package

    curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
  

• Add the docker group to user that will use Docker (without sudo) (Remember that user will have to log out and back in for this to take effect!)

     # Example: Add 'docker' group to user '3t4'
    sudo usermod -aG docker 3t4
  

• Verify docker is installed correctly

    docker run hello-world
