Installing Docker on a Mac
==========================
This guide explains how to install a full Docker setup on your Mac,
using Virtualbox and Vagrant.
Install Vagrant and Virtualbox
------------------------------
.. include:: install_header.inc
.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
#. Install virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/ (or use your
package manager)
#. Install vagrant from http://www.vagrantup.com/ (or use your package
manager)
#. Install git if you had not installed it before, check if it is
installed by running ``git`` in a terminal window
Spin it up
----------
1. Fetch the docker sources (this includes the ``Vagrantfile`` for
machine setup).
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/dotcloud/docker.git
2. Change directory to docker
.. code-block:: bash
cd docker
3. Run vagrant from the sources directory
.. code-block:: bash
vagrant up
Vagrant will:
* Download the 'official' Precise64 base ubuntu virtual machine image from vagrantup.com
* Boot this image in virtualbox
* Follow official :ref:`ubuntu_linux` installation path
You now have a Ubuntu Virtual Machine running with docker pre-installed.
Connect
-------
To access the VM and use Docker, Run ``vagrant ssh`` from the same directory as where you ran
``vagrant up``. Vagrant will connect you to the correct VM.
.. code-block:: bash
vagrant ssh
Upgrades
--------
Since your local VM is based on Ubuntu, you can upgrade docker by logging in to the
VM and calling ``apt-get``:
.. code-block:: bash
# Log into the VM
vagrant ssh
# update your sources list
sudo apt-get update
# install the latest
sudo apt-get install lxc-docker
Run
---
Now you are in the VM, run docker
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker
Continue with the :ref:`hello_world` example.
