**This instruction set is meant for hackers who want to try out Docker
on a variety of environments.**
Before following these directions, you should really check if a packaged version
of Docker is already available for your distribution. We have packages for many
distributions, and more keep showing up all the time!

- GNU Tar version 1.26 or later
- iproute2 version 3.5 or later (build after 2012-05-21), and specifically the "ip" utility

Starting in version 0.5.3, if you (or your Docker installer) create a
Unix group called *docker* and add users to it, then the ``docker``
daemon will make the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the
*docker* group when the daemon starts. The ``docker`` daemon must

the *docker* group then you don't need to add ``sudo`` to all the
