Install Docker

Linux

If using Linux, install Docker on your machine following the instructions here.

Windows or macOS

If using Windows or macOS, download and install Docker Toolbox.

Note: Docker is natively supported on most linux distributions, but requires Microsoft Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise 64-bit if you are using Windows and Apple macOS Yosemite 10.10.3 or or above if you are using Apple. All of the DeGAUSS images should run without problems on the native version of Docker and on Docker Toolbox; however, we recommend using Docker Toolbox to minimize issues and potential problems if you are not familiar with the command line or using docker in general.

Troubleshooting Common Installation Problems

  • If you are trying to install on Windows and receive the error message docker computer does not have VT-X/AMD-v enabled, enabling it in BIOS is mandatory when trying to startup the virtual box / Docker Quickstart Terminal, then you need to boot into your computer's BIOS settings and enable VT-X. If you are unsure how to boot into your BIOS settings try rebooting your computer and hold down F2 while it restarts. It should look something like this but will be different depending on the exact make and model of your computer.
  • Do not attempt to use Docker Toolbox when connected to a virtual network (i.e. remoting in to a work machine from home) or when using a proxy. Docker Toolbox works by communicating with a virtual machine and these settings will cause problems.
