Turn "it works on my machine" into "it works everywhere." Docker gives you everything you need to build, test, and ship applications.
Step 1: Download Docker Desktop
Choose your platform – Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel), Windows, or Linux – and install from docker.com. Docker Desktop includes the Docker Engine, Kubernetes, Docker Compose, and the world's largest library of verified container images.
Step 2: Run your first container
Open a terminal and run:
docker run hello-world
You'll see a message confirming Docker is working. From here, you can pull any image from Docker Hub, build your own images with a Dockerfile, and run multi-container apps with Docker Compose.
Step 3: Build something real
Follow the Get Started tutorial to containerize a sample application, push it to Docker Hub, and run it anywhere. In under an hour you'll have a full local-to-production workflow.
