Local Docker Setup
Download and install Docker Desktop.
Alternatively, on Linux you can use the following commands to install Docker Engine. (This will reduce the layers of technical abstraction for running containers, but will not include a GUI application for managing your Docker resources.)
curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh
# OPTIONAL: Allow user to run Docker without sudo
dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
echo "export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.$(basename $SHELL)rc
echo "export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock" >> ~/.$(basename $SHELL)rc
. ~/.$(basename $SHELL)rc
Download and install Docker Desktop or Colima.
Download and install Docker Desktop.
Restart your entire machine to finish initializing Docker.
After restarting, verify Docker is running as expected. Run the simple hello-world Docker container. This should output “Hello from Docker!” as well as some other intro text:
docker run hello-world
