## Get the docker binary
You can download either the latest release binary or a specific version.
After downloading a binary file, you must set the file's execute bit to run it.
To set the file's execute bit on Linux and OS X:
$ wget https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest -O docker
$ chmod +x docker
> **Note**:
> If you have trouble downloading the binary, you can also get the smaller
> compressed release file:
> [https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest.tgz](
> https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest.tgz)
To get the list of stable release version numbers from Github, view the
`docker/docker` [releases page](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases).
> **Note**
>
> 1) You can get the MD5 and SHA256 hashes by appending .md5 and .sha256 to the URLs respectively
>
> 2) You can get the compressed binaries by appending .tgz to the URLs
