Lesson 1 / 45
Getting Started
The pseudo terminal on this page reproduces the feel of the Docker CLI, so you can start practicing right away with nothing installed. Nothing is really run — it reproduces the typical output for learning purposes. To try real Docker on your own machine, here is what you need.
- Docker Desktop: the official app that makes Docker easy to get started with on Windows and Mac. Free for personal use.
- Docker Engine: use this when you only want the CLI, for example on a Linux server.
- A Docker Hub account: needed once you want to publish and share images you have built yourself.
