Quick Install on Linux

Assuming root on Ubuntu 12.10 you can just run:

curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/dotcloud/docker/master/install.sh | bash

As you can see by inspecting the URL, this will:

1. Use apt-get to install LXC
2. Download the latest binary
3. Install client and server into /usr/local/bin
4. Create simple Upstart script if one does not exist
5. Start the server

You have no images to bootstrap a container from, but you can download a public base image of Ubuntu 12.10 easily with:

docker pull base
