Binaries

This instruction set is meant for hackers who want to try out Docker on a variety of environments.

Before following these directions, you should really check if a packaged version of Docker is already available for your distribution. We have packages for many distributions, and more keep showing up all the time!

Check Your Kernel

Your host's Linux kernel must meet the Docker kernel

Get the docker binary:

wget https://get.docker.io/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest -O docker
chmod +x docker

Run the docker daemon

# start the docker in daemon mode from the directory you unpacked
sudo ./docker -d &

Run your first container!

# check your docker version
sudo ./docker version

# run a container and open an interactive shell in the container
sudo ./docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

Continue with the hello_world example.
