Install Docker

The first step is installing Docker on your system.

If you visit the 'Get Docker' page here, you will find installation files for your system: macOS, Windows and Linux.

Once you have followed the instructions in the installation, verify that you have the docker binary available in your terminal or command prompt by executing docker version, sample output:
