Install Docker and Docker Compose
Install Docker and Docker Compose on your system. Choose your operating system:
Linux
# Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt update sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose # Enable and start Docker sudo systemctl enable docker sudo systemctl start docker # Add user to docker group sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
macOS
# Install Docker Desktop # Download from docker.com/products/docker-desktop # Or use Homebrew brew install --cask docker # Docker Desktop includes Docker Compose
