# How to install Docker
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Docker Community Edition (CE) on Ubuntu, specifically tested on version 22.04. Docker is a powerful tool for containerization, allowing you to separate different services into individual containers and offering better resource efficiency compared to virtual machines.

## Prerequisites
- A system running Ubuntu 22.04
- A user account with sudo privileges
- An internet connection
## Get Started
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
- Begin by updating your apt repository to ensure you have the latest package information and dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:
```bash
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
apt update
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
```
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
This command will refresh the package lists and update any outdated packages on your system.

- Next, you need to ensure that the curl utility is installed. This tool is used to transfer data to or from a server using various protocols. If you already have curl installed, you can skip this step. Otherwise, execute the following command in the terminal to install it:
```bash
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
apt install curl
```
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
This command will download and install curl from the Ubuntu repositories.
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
- Now, you can proceed with the installation of Docker. Docker provides a convenient installation script that you can run to automatically set up the necessary components. Execute the following command in the terminal:
```bash
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | CHANNEL=stable bash
```
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
This command downloads the Docker installation script and pipes it to the bash shell, which executes the script. The CHANNEL=stable option ensures that the stable version of Docker is installed.
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
- Once the installation process is complete, you can verify that Docker is working correctly. Run the following command in the terminal:
```bash
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
docker --version
```
This command displays the version of Docker installed on your system. You should see an output similar to the following:
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
```bash
2023-06-26 11:17:19 +00:00
➜ ~ docker --version
Docker version 23.0.6, build ef23cbc
```
2023-06-26 12:04:48 +00:00
## Finished
2023-06-26 11:29:17 +00:00
Congratulations! You have now installed Docker Community Edition on your Ubuntu machine. Docker is ready to be used, allowing you to leverage the power of containerization for your projects and applications.
