Before you start using Cloud Registry, you must install and configure Docker on your local computer.

Linux
macOS
Windows
  1. Install Docker Engine. Use this guide to install and run Docker for your operating system.

  2. After the installation is complete, add the current user to the docker group:

    sudo groupadd docker
    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
    newgrp docker
    

For groups to update successfully, you may need to log back into the OS or reboot the computer.

For information on additional Docker settings in Linux, see this developer guide.

If you are working on a device with a GUI, you can also install Docker Desktop for Linux.

Download and install the Docker Desktop distribution for macOS. For more information, see this developer guide.

  1. Download and install the Docker Desktop distribution for Windows.

  2. After the installation is complete, add the current user to the docker-users group:

    1. Run Computer Management as administrator:

      compmgmt.msc
      
    2. Expand the (Local) Computer Management menu, then go Utilities → Local Users and Groups → Groups and open the docker-users group.

    3. Click Add and add the required user to the group.

    4. Click OK.

  3. Run Docker Desktop and make sure the app's status is running.

For information on additional Docker settings in Windows, see this developer guide.
