## Install Docker experimental
|

|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 16:18:19 +00:00
|
|
|
1. Verify that you have `wget` installed.
|

|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 16:18:19 +00:00
|
|
|
$ which wget
|
2015-05-18 13:17:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 16:18:19 +00:00
|
|
|
If `wget` isn't installed, install it after updating your manager:
|
2015-05-18 13:17:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 16:18:19 +00:00
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install wget
|
2015-05-18 13:17:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 16:18:19 +00:00
|
|
|
2. Get the latest Docker package.
|
2015-05-18 13:17:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-22 16:18:19 +00:00
|
|
|
$ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/ | sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system prompts you for your `sudo` password. Then, it downloads and
|
|
|
|
installs Docker and its dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>**Note**: If your company is behind a filtering proxy, you may find that the
|
|
|
|
>`apt-key`
|
|
|
|
>command fails for the Docker repo during installation. To work around this,
|
|
|
|
>add the key directly using the following:
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
> $ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Verify `docker` is installed correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker run hello-world
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container.
