# Find and run the whalesay image
People all over the world create Docker images. You can find these images by
browsing the Docker Hub. In this next section, you'll search for and find the
image you'll use in the rest of this getting started.
## Step 1: Locate the whalesay image
1. Open your browser and <a href="https://hub.docker.com/?utm_source=getting_started_guide&utm_medium=embedded_MacOSX&utm_campaign=find_whalesay" target=_blank> browse to the Docker Hub</a>.
![Browse Docker Hub](tutimg/browse_and_search.png)
The Docker Hub contains images from individuals like you and official images
from organizations like RedHat, IBM, Google, and a whole lot more.
2. Click **Browse & Search**.
The browser opens the search page.
3. Enter the word `whalesay` in the search bar.

4. Click on the **docker/whalesay** image in the results.
The browser displays the repository for the **whalesay** image.

Each image repository contains information about an image. It should
include information such as what kind of software the image contains and
how to use it. You may notice that the **whalesay** image is based on a
Linux distribution called Ubuntu. In the next step, you run the **whalesay** image on your machine.
## Step 2: Run the whalesay image
Make sure Docker is running. On Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows, this is indicated by the Docker whale showing in the status bar.
1. Open a command-line terminal.
2. Type the `docker run docker/whalesay cowsay boo` command and press RETURN.
This command runs the **whalesay** image in a container. Your terminal should look like the following:
$ docker run docker/whalesay cowsay boo

The first time you run a software image, the `docker` command looks for it
on your local system. If the image isn't there, then `docker` gets it from
the hub.
5. While still in the command line terminal, type `docker images` command and press RETURN.
The command lists all the images on your local system. You should see
`docker/whalesay` in the list.
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
docker/whalesay latest fb434121fc77 3 hours ago 247 MB
hello-world latest 91c95931e552 5 weeks ago 910 B
When you run an image in a container, Docker downloads the image to your
computer. This local copy of the image saves you time. Docker only
downloads the image again if the image's source changes on the hub. You
can, of course, delete the image yourself. You'll learn more about that
later. Let's leave the image there for now because we are going to use it
later.
6. Take a moment to play with the **whalesay** container a bit.
Try running the `whalesay` image again with a word or phrase. Try a long or
short phrase. Can you break the cow?
$ docker run docker/whalesay cowsay boo-boo

## Where to go next
On this page, you learned to search for images on Docker Hub. You used your
command line to run an image. Think about it, effectively you ran a piece of
Linux software on your Mac computer. You learned that running an image copies
it on your computer. Now, you are ready to create your own Docker image.
Go on to the next part [to build your own image](step_four.md).
