**Please note this project is currently under heavy development. It should not be used in production.**
**This instruction set is meant for hackers who want to try out Docker on a variety of environments.**
Right now, the officially supported distributions are:
- :ref:`ubuntu_precise`
- :ref:`ubuntu_raring`
But we know people have had success running it under
- Debian
- Suse
- :ref:`arch_linux`
Dependencies:
-------------
* 3.8 Kernel (read more about :ref:`kernel`)
* AUFS filesystem support
* lxc
* bsdtar
Get the docker binary:
----------------------
.. code-block:: bash
wget http://get.docker.io/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest.tgz
tar -xf docker-latest.tgz
Run the docker daemon
---------------------
.. code-block:: bash
# start the docker in daemon mode from the directory you unpacked
sudo ./docker -d &
Run your first container!
-------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
# check your docker version
./docker version
# run a container and open an interactive shell in the container
./docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
Continue with the :ref:`hello_world` example.
