# Running the Install Script
[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) provides a convenient script for quickly installing their software and getting it ready.
You can find the [official Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-convenience-script) on their website.
## Preparation
First, we need to open our terminal to install a small application called *curl* that can be used to download files through the terminal.
Enter this command and hit enter to automatically install the curl software:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y curl
```
You will be prompted to enter your password.

## Installation
Now, enter the following command to use *curl* to download the script that installs Docker and it's dependencies:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
```

Once the download is complete, you can enter this command to run the script we just downloaded:
```bash
sh get-docker.sh
```

The Docker setup process should proceed automatically and prompt you about further actions once it's finished. We do not need to follow these additional instructions.

We have successfully installed the Docker Container Engine on our server.
