Get started with Docker in three simple steps:

  1. Download Docker Desktop – Choose your platform (Mac Apple Silicon, Mac Intel, Windows, or Linux) and install the world's most popular container platform. Docker Desktop includes everything you need to build, run, and share containerized applications.

  2. Sign up for Docker Hub – Create a free account at app.docker.com to pull and push images, create private repositories, and collaborate with your team. Get 100 pulls per hour on the free tier.

  3. Run your first container – Open the terminal and run docker run hello-world to verify your installation. Then explore our documentation and getting started guides to containerize your first app.
