MacOS: Install Docker

A step-by-step guide for installing Docker on MacOS-based machines.

What is Docker?

Let's take a quick look at what Docker is? Imagine Docker as a magic box where you put your software and everything it needs to run. This box can be easily carried to any computer, and when you open it, your software works just the way you packed it, without needing anything extra from that computer. Here are a few steps to install Docker:

1. Download Docker

Go to the Docker website and click on "Download for Mac - Apple Chip."

Downloading the Docker file may take some time. Please be patient.

2. Open the docker.dmg File and Drag It Into the Applications Folder

3. Start the Docker Installation From the Applications Folder

We recommend using the recommended settings during the installation wizard.

4. Open 
Terminal Through Launchpad

Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type Terminal in the search field, then click Terminal

5. Verify the Installation in Terminal

Copy and paste the following line into Terminal.

docker --version

The result will be the current version of Docker.

Docker version 24.0.6, build ed223bc

Congratulations on Successfully Setting up Docker

Now that Docker has been successfully installed and is running, you can proceed with setting up the Worker.
