Windows Docker installation


The Docker engine uses Linux kernel features, so we need to use a lightweight virtual machine (VM) on Windows to run Docker.

We use Boot2Docker to install the virtual machine and run Docker

Installation

1. Install Boot2Docker

The latest version of Boot2Docker download address: https: //github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer/releases/latest

The latest version is v1.8.0, the download address is: https://github.com/boot2docker/windows-installer/releases/download /v1.8.0/docker-install.exe

Run Boot2Docker Start from the desktop or Program Files.

Boot2Docker Start will launch a Unix shell to configure and manage Docker running in the virtual host. We can see if it is working properly by running docker version.
