You can install Docker using Boot2Docker to run `docker` commands at your command-line.
Choose this installation if you are familiar with the command-line or plan to
contribute to the Docker project on GitHub.

the VM with `docker-machine` it is assigned an IP address. When you start a
container, the ports on a container map to ports on the VM. To see this in
practice, work through the exercises on this page.
### Installation
1. Go to the [boot2docker/osx-installer ](
https://github.com/boot2docker/osx-installer/releases/latest) release page.
If you have VirtualBox running, you must shut it down before running the
installer.
4. Download Boot2Docker by clicking `Boot2Docker-x.x.x.pkg` in the "Downloads"
section.
1. Go to the [Docker Toolbox](https://www.docker.com/toolbox) page.
3. Install Boot2Docker by double-clicking the package.
2. Click the installer link to download.
The installer places Boot2Docker and VirtualBox in your "Applications" folder.
3. Install Docker Toolbox by double-clicking the package or by right-clicking
and choosing "Open" from the pop-up menu.
The installation places the `docker` and `boot2docker` binaries in your
`/usr/local/bin` directory.
The installer launches the "Install Docker Toolbox" dialog.
![Install Docker Toolbox](/installation/images/mac-welcome-page.png)
4. Press "Continue" to install the toolbox.
The installer presents you with options to customize the standard
installation.
![Standard install](/installation/images/mac-page-two.png)
By default, the standard Docker Toolbox installation:
* installs binaries for the Docker tools in `/usr/local/bin`
* makes these binaries available to all users
* updates any existing VirtualBox installation
Change these defaults by pressing "Customize" or "Change
Install Location."
5. Press "Install" to perform the standard installation.
The system prompts you for your password.
![Password prompt](/installation/images/mac-password-prompt.png)
6. Provide your password to continue with the installation.
When it completes, the installer provides you with some information you can
use to complete some common tasks.
![All finished](/installation/images/mac-page-finished.png)
7. Press "Close" to exit.
## Start the Boot2Docker Application
## Running a Docker Container
To run a Docker container, you first start the `boot2docker` VM and then issue
`docker` commands to create, load, and manage containers. You can launch
`boot2docker` from your Applications folder or from the command line.
To run a Docker container, you:
> **NOTE**: Boot2Docker is designed as a development tool. You should not use
> it in production environments.
* create a new (or start an existing) Docker virtual machine
* switch your environment to your new VM
* use the `docker` client to create, load, and manage containers
### From the Applications folder
Once you create a machine, you can reuse it as often as you like. Like any
VirtualBox VM, it maintains its configuration between uses.
When you launch the "Boot2Docker" application from your "Applications" folder, the
application:
There are two ways to use the installed tools, from the Docker Quickstart Terminal or
[from your shell](#from-your-shell).
* opens a terminal window
### From the Docker Quickstart Terminal
* creates a $HOME/.boot2docker directory
1. Open the "Applications" folder or the "Launchpad".
* creates a VirtualBox ISO and certs
2. Find the Docker Quickstart Terminal and double-click to launch it.
* starts a VirtualBox VM running the `docker` daemon
The application:
Once the launch completes, you can run `docker` commands. A good way to verify
your setup succeeded is to run the `hello-world` container.
* opens a terminal window
* creates a VM called `docker-vm` if it doesn't exists, starts the VM if it does
* points the terminal environment to this VM

This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
Once the launch completes, the Docker Quickstart Terminal reports:
![All finished](/installation/images/mac-success.png)
Now, you can run `docker` commands.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(Assuming it was not already locally available.)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
3. Verify your setup succeeded by running the `hello-world` container.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
$ docker run hello-world

A more typical way to start and stop `boot2docker` is using the command line.
A more typical way to interact with the Docker tools is from your regular shell command line.
### From your command line
### From your shell
Initialize and run `boot2docker` from the command line, do the following:
This section assumes you are running a Bash shell. You may be running a
different shell such as C Shell but the commands are the same.
1. Create a new Boot2Docker VM.
1. Create a new Docker VM.
$ boot2docker init
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox docker-vm
Creating VirtualBox VM...
Creating SSH key...
Starting VirtualBox VM...
Starting VM...
To see how to connect Docker to this machine, run: docker-machine env docker-vm
This creates a new virtual machine. You only need to run this command once.
This creates a new `docker-vm` in VirtualBox.
![docker-vm](/installation/images/docker-vm.png)
2. Start the `boot2docker` VM.
The command also creates a machine configuration in the
`~/.docker/machine/machines/docker-vm` directory. You only need to run the
`create` command once. Then, you can use `docker-machine` to start, stop,
query, and otherwise manage the VM from the command line.
2. List your available machines.
$ boot2docker start
$ docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
docker-vm * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376
If you have previously installed the deprecated Boot2Docker application or
run the Docker Quickstart Terminal, you may have a `dev` VM as well. When you
created `docker-vm`, the `docker-machine` command provided instructions
for learning how to connect the VM.
3. Display the environment variables for the Docker client.
3. Get the environment commands for your new VM.
$ boot2docker shellinit
Writing /Users/mary/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem
Writing /Users/mary/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/cert.pem

export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users/mary/.docker/machine/machines/docker-vm"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="docker-vm"
# Run this command to configure your shell:
# eval "$(docker-machine env docker-vm)"
4. Connect your shell to the `docker-vm` machine.
The specific paths and address on your machine will be different.
4. To set the environment variables in your shell do the following:
$ eval "$(boot2docker shellinit)"
You can also set them manually by using the `export` commands `boot2docker`
returns.
$ eval "$(docker-machine env docker-vm)"
5. Run the `hello-world` container to verify your setup.
$ docker run hello-world
## Basic Boot2Docker exercises
## Learn about your Toolbox installation
At this point, you should have `boot2docker` running and the `docker` client
environment initialized. To verify this, run the following commands:
Toolbox installs the Docker Engine binary, the Docker binary on your system. When you
use the Docker Quickstart Terminal or create a `docker-vm` manually, Docker
Machine updates the `~/.docker/machine/machines/docker-vm` folder to your
system. This folder contains the configuration for the VM.
$ boot2docker status
$ docker version
You can create multiple VMs on your system with Docker Machine. So, you may have
more than one VM folder if you have more than one VM. To remove a VM, use the
`docker-machine rm <machine-name>` command.
The `docker-machine` subcommands are slightly different than the `boot2docker`
subcommands. The table below lists the equivalent `docker-machine` subcommand
and what it does:
Work through this section to try some practical container tasks using `boot2docker` VM.

# Windows
> **Note:**
> Docker has been tested on Windows 7 and 8.1; it may also run on older versions.
> Your processor needs to support hardware virtualization.
The Docker Engine uses Linux-specific kernel features, so to run it on Windows
we need to use a lightweight virtual machine (VM). You use the **Windows Docker
Client** to control the virtualized Docker Engine to build, run, and manage
Docker containers.
> **Note**: This release of Docker deprecates the Boot2Docker command line in
> favor of Docker Machine. Use the Docker Toolbox to install Docker Machine as
> well as the other Docker tools.
To make this process easier, we've designed a helper application called
[Boot2Docker](https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker) which creates a Linux virtual
machine on Windows to run Docker on a Linux operating system.
You install Docker using Docker Toolbox. Docker Toolbox includes the following Docker tools:
Although you will be using Windows Docker client, the docker engine hosting the
containers will still be running on Linux. Until the Docker engine for Windows
is developed, you can launch only Linux containers from your Windows machine.
* Docker Machine for running the `docker-machine` binary
* Docker Engine for running the `docker` binary
* Kitematic, the Docker GUI
* a shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment
* Oracle VM VirtualBox
Because the Docker daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features, you can't run
Docker natively in Windows. Instead, you must use `docker-machine` to create and attach to a Docker VM on your machine. This VM hosts Docker for you on your Windows system.
The Docker VM is lightweight Linux virtual machine made specifically to run the
Docker daemon on Windows. The VirtualBox VM runs completely from RAM, is a
small ~24MB download, and boots in approximately 5s.
## Requirements
Your machine must be running Windows 7.1, 8/8.1 or newer to run Docker.
To find out what version of Windows you have:
1. Right click the Windows message and choose **System**.
![Which version](/installation/images/win_ver.png)
If you aren't using a supported version, you could consider upgrading your
operating system.
2. Make sure your Windows system supports Hardware Virtualization Technology and that virtualization is enabled.
#### For Windows 8 or 8.1
Choose **Start > Task Manager** and navigate to the **Performance** tab.
Under **CPU** you should see the following:
![Release page](/installation/images/virtualization.png)
If virtualization is not enabled on your system, follow the manufacturer's instructions for enabling it.
### For Windows 7
Run the <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=592"
target="_blank"> Microsoft® Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection
Tool</a> and follow the on-screen instructions.
> **Note**: If you have Docker hosts running and you don't wish to do a Docker Toolbox
installation, you can install the `docker.exe` using the *unofficial* Windows package
manager Chocolately. For information on how to do this, see [Docker package on
Chocolatey](http://chocolatey.org/packages/docker).
### Learn the key concepts before installing
In a Docker installation on Linux, your machine is both the localhost and the
Docker host. In networking, localhost means your computer. The Docker host is
the machine on which the containers run.
On a typical Linux installation, the Docker client, the Docker daemon, and any
containers run directly on your localhost. This means you can address ports on a
Docker container using standard localhost addressing such as `localhost:8000` or
`0.0.0.0:8376`.
![Linux Architecture Diagram](/installation/images/linux_docker_host.svg)
In an Windows installation, the `docker` daemon is running inside a Linux virtual
machine. You use the Windows Docker client to talk to the Docker host VM. Your
Docker containers run inside this host.
![Windows Architecture Diagram](/installation/images/win_docker_host.svg)
## Demonstration
In Windows, the Docker host address is the address of the Linux VM. When you
start the VM with `docker-machine` it is assigned an IP address. When you start
a container, the ports on a container map to ports on the VM. To see this in
practice, work through the exercises on this page.

## Installation
### Installation
1. Download the latest release of the
[Docker for Windows Installer](https://github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer/releases/latest).
2. Run the installer, which will install Docker Client for Windows, VirtualBox,
Git for Windows (MSYS-git), the boot2docker Linux ISO, and the Boot2Docker
management tool.
![](/installation/images/windows-installer.png)
3. Run the **Boot2Docker Start** shortcut from your Desktop or “Program Files →
Boot2Docker for Windows”.
The Start script will ask you to enter an ssh key passphrase - the simplest
(but least secure) is to just hit [Enter].
If you have VirtualBox running, you must shut it down before running the
installer.
4. The **Boot2Docker Start** will start a unix shell already configured to manage
Docker running inside the virtual machine. Run `docker version` to see
if it is working correctly:
1. Go to the [Docker Toolbox](https://www.docker.com/toolbox) page.
![](/installation/images/windows-boot2docker-start.png)
2. Click the installer link to download.
## Running Docker
3. Install Docker Toolbox by double-clicking the installer.
> **Note:** if you are using a remote Docker daemon, such as Boot2Docker,
> then _do not_ type the `sudo` before the `docker` commands shown in the
> documentation's examples.
The installer launches the "Setup - Docker Toolbox" dialog.
![Install Docker Toolbox](/installation/images/win-welcome.png)
**Boot2Docker Start** will automatically start a shell with environment variables
correctly set so you can start using Docker right away:
4. Press "Next" to install the toolbox.
Let's try the `hello-world` example image. Run
The installer presents you with options to customize the standard
installation. By default, the standard Docker Toolbox installation:
* installs executables for the Docker tools in `C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox`
* updates any existing VirtualBox installation
* adds a Docker Inc. folder to your program shortcuts
* updates your `PATH` environment variable
* adds desktop icons for the Docker Quickstart Terminal and Kitematic
$ docker run hello-world
This installation assumes the defaults are acceptable.
5. Press "Next" until you reach the "Ready to Install" page.
The system prompts you for your password.

## Running a Docker Container
To run a Docker container, you:
* create a new (or start an existing) Docker virtual machine
* switch your environment to your new VM
* use the `docker` client to create, load, and manage containers
Once you create a machine, you can reuse it as often as you like. Like any
VirtualBox VM, it maintains its configuration between uses.
There are several ways to use the installed tools, from the Docker Quickstart Terminal or
[from your shell](#from-your-shell).
### From the Docker Quickstart Terminal
1. Find the Docker Quickstart Terminal icon on your Desktop and double-click to launch it.
The application:
* opens a terminal window
* creates a `docker-vm` if it doesn't exist, starts the VM if it does
* points the terminal environment to this VM
Once the launch completes, you can run `docker` commands.
3. Verify your setup succeeded by running the `hello-world` container.
$ docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
511136ea3c5a: Pull complete
31cbccb51277: Pull complete
e45a5af57b00: Pull complete
hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified.
Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be
relied on to provide security.
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker.
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(Assuming it was not already locally available.)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
For more examples and ideas, visit:
http://docs.docker.com/userguide/
This should download the very small `hello-world` image and print a
`Hello from Docker.` message.
## Using Docker from Windows Command Line Prompt (cmd.exe)
Launch a Windows Command Line Prompt (cmd.exe).
1. Launch a Windows Command Line Prompt (cmd.exe).
Boot2Docker command requires `ssh.exe` to be in the PATH, therefore we need to
include `bin` folder of the Git installation (which has ssh.exe) to the `%PATH%`
environment variable by running:
The `docker-machine` command requires `ssh.exe` in your `PATH` environment
variable. This `.exe` is in the MsysGit `bin` folder.
set PATH=%PATH%;"c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
2. Add this to the `%PATH%` environment variable by running:
and then we can run the `boot2docker start` command to start the Boot2Docker VM.
(Run `boot2docker init` command if you get an error saying machine does not
exist.) Then copy the instructions for cmd.exe to set the environment variables
to your console window and you are ready to run docker commands such as
`docker ps`:
set PATH=%PATH%;"c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
3. Create a new Docker VM.
![](/installation/images/windows-boot2docker-cmd.png)
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox my-docker-vm
Creating VirtualBox VM...
Creating SSH key...
Starting VirtualBox VM...
Starting VM...
To see how to connect Docker to this machine, run: docker-machine env my-docker-vm
The command also creates a machine configuration in the
`C:\USERS\USERNAME\.docker\machine\machines` directory. You only need to run the `create`
command once. Then, you can use `docker-machine` to start, stop, query, and
otherwise manage the VM from the command line.
4. List your available machines.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
my-docker-vm * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376
If you have previously installed the deprecated Boot2Docker application or
run the Docker Quickstart Terminal, you may have a `dev` VM as well.
5. Get the environment commands for your new VM.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine env --shell cmd my-docker-vm
6. Connect your shell to the `my-docker-vm` machine.
C:\Users\mary> eval "$(docker-machine env my-docker-vm)"
7. Run the `hello-world` container to verify your setup.
C:\Users\mary> docker run hello-world
## Using Docker from PowerShell
Launch a PowerShell window, then add `ssh.exe` to your PATH:
1. Launch a Windows PowerShell window.
$Env:Path = "${Env:Path};c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
2. Add `ssh.exe` to your PATH:
and after running the `boot2docker start` command it will print PowerShell
commands to set the environment variables to connect to the Docker daemon
running inside the VM. Run these commands and you are ready to run docker
commands such as `docker ps`:
PS C:\Users\mary> $Env:Path = "${Env:Path};c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
3. Create a new Docker VM.
![](/installation/images/windows-boot2docker-powershell.png)
PS C:\Users\mary> docker-machine create --driver virtualbox my-docker-vm
4. List your available machines.
> NOTE: You can alternatively run `boot2docker shellinit | Invoke-Expression`
> command to set the environment variables instead of copying and pasting on
> PowerShell.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
my-docker-vm * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376
5. Get the environment commands for your new VM.
# Further Details
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine env --shell powershell my-docker-vm
6. Connect your shell to the `my-docker-vm` machine.
The Boot2Docker management tool provides several commands:
C:\Users\mary> eval "$(docker-machine env my-docker-vm)"
$ boot2docker
Usage: boot2docker.exe [<options>] {help|init|up|ssh|save|down|poweroff|reset|restart|config|status|info|ip|shellinit|delete|download|upgrade|version} [<args>]
7. Run the `hello-world` container to verify your setup.
## Upgrading
C:\Users\mary> docker run hello-world
1. Download the latest release of the [Docker for Windows Installer](
https://github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer/releases/latest)
2. Run the installer, which will update the Boot2Docker management tool.
## Learn about your Toolbox installation
3. To upgrade your existing virtual machine, open a terminal and run:
Toolbox installs the Docker Engine binary in the `C:\Program Files\Docker
Toolbox` directory. When you use the Docker Quickstart Terminal or create a
`docker-vm` manually, Docker Machine updates the
`C:\USERS\USERNAME\.docker\machine\machines\docker-vm` folder to your
system. This folder contains the configuration for the VM.
boot2docker stop
boot2docker download
boot2docker start
You can create multiple VMs on your system with Docker Machine. So, you may have
more than one VM folder if you have more than one VM. To remove a VM, use the
`docker-machine rm <machine-name>` command.
The `docker-machine` subcommands are slightly different than the `boot2docker`
subcommands. The table below lists the equivalent `docker-machine` subcommand
and what it does:
| `boot2docker` | `docker-machine` | `docker-machine` description |
|----------------|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| init | create | Creates a new docker host. |
| up | start | Starts a stopped machine. |
| ssh | ssh | Runs a command or interactive ssh session on the machine.|
| save | - | Not applicable. |
| down | stop | Stops a running machine. |
| poweroff | stop | Stops a running machine. |
| reset | restart | Restarts a running machine. |
| config | inspect | Prints machine configuration details. |
| status | ls | Lists all machines and their status. |
| info | inspect | Displays a machine's details. |
| ip | ip | Displays the machine's ip address. |
| shellinit | env | Displays shell commands needed to configure your shell to interact with a machine |
| delete | rm | Removes a machine. |
| download | - | Not applicable. |
| upgrade | upgrade | Upgrades a machine's Docker client to the latest stable release. |
