# Experimental Features in this Release 

This page contains a list of features in the Docker engine which are
experimental as of the current release. Experimental features are **not** ready
for production. They are provided for test and evaluation in your sandbox
environments.  

The information below describes each feature and the Github pull requests and
issues associated with it. If necessary, links are provided to additional
documentation on an issue.  As an active Docker user and community member,
please feel free to provide any feedback on these features you wish.

## Install Docker experimental 

1. Verify that you have `wget` installed.

        $ which wget

    If `wget` isn't installed, install it after updating your manager:

        $ sudo apt-get update
        $ sudo apt-get install wget

2. Get the latest Docker package.

        $ 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.
