Install Docker

If you don't want to install Docker, skip this part and go to the next section "Use Play-With-Docker."

1. Sign up for Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/signup

2. Navigate to https://hub.docker.com/?overlay=onboarding

3. Download *Docker Desktop for Mac* or *Docker Desktop for Windows*.

4. Install Docker Desktop.

Use Play-With-Docker

If you don't want to install Docker, an alternative is to use Play-With-Docker, which is a website where you can run terminals directly from your browser that have Docker installed.

All of the labs for this course can be run on Play-With-Docker though it's recommended that you install Docker locally on your host so that you can continue your Docker journey when you're done with the course. To use Play-With-Docker, navigate to http://play-with-docker.com in your browser. Then, follow the instructions in each lab.
