Install using Vagrant
=====================
Please note this is a community contributed installation path. The only 'official' installation is using the :ref:`ubuntu_linux` installation path. This version
may be out of date because it depends on some binaries to be updated and published
**requirements**
This guide will setup a new virtual machine on your computer. This works on most operating systems,
including MacOX, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and others. If you can
install these and have at least 400Mb RAM to spare you should be good.
Install Vagrant, Virtualbox and Git
-----------------------------------
We currently rely on some Ubuntu-linux specific packages, this will change in the future, but for now we provide a
streamlined path to install Virtualbox with a Ubuntu 12.10 image using Vagrant.
1. Install virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/ (or use your package manager)
2. Install vagrant from http://www.vagrantup.com/ (or use your package manager)
3. Install git if you had not installed it before, check if it is installed by running
``git`` in a terminal window
We recommend having at least about 2Gb of free disk space and 2Gb RAM (or more).
Spin up your machine
--------------------
1. Fetch the docker sources
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/dotcloud/docker.git
2. Run vagrant from the sources directory
.. code-block:: bash
vagrant up
Vagrant will:
* Download the Quantal64 base ubuntu virtual machine image from get.docker.io/
* Boot this image in virtualbox
Then it will use Puppet to perform an initial setup in this machine:
* Download & untar the most recent docker binary tarball to vagrant homedir.
* Debootstrap to /var/lib/docker/images/ubuntu.
* Install & run dockerd as service.
* Put docker in /usr/local/bin.
* Put latest Go toolchain in /usr/local/go.
You now have a Ubuntu Virtual Machine running with docker pre-installed.
To access the VM and use Docker, Run ``vagrant ssh`` from the same directory as where you ran
``vagrant up``. Vagrant will make sure to connect you to the correct VM.
.. code-block:: bash
vagrant ssh
Now you are in the VM, run docker
.. code-block:: bash
docker
Continue with the :ref:`hello_world` example.
