Running the Install Script

Docker provides a convenient script for quickly installing their software and getting it ready. 

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 the command, and hit enter. 

sudo apt-get install -y curl

This will automatically install the curl software for us to use.  You will be prompted to enter your password.

Now, enter the following command:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

This will use curl to download the script that installs Docker and it's dependencies.  Once the download is complete, you can enter this command to run the script we just downloaded.

sh get-docker.sh

SetupThe Docker setup process should completeproceed automatically.automatically and prompt you with further actions once it's finished.
