Docker Desktop

How do I install and test Docker Desktop?

All of the download files are available on the Docker Desktop product page .

On any platform, confirm the Docker Desktop installation is successful with:

    

        
        
docker run hello-world

    

The output should be a welcome message such as:

    

        
        Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (amd64)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Use the uname command to identify the architecture:

    

        
        
uname -m

    

Apple Silicon is reported as arm64.
