Docker Desktop Set Up


Docker can be downloaded from the official Docker website https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/. There are instructions to download for different operating systems.
In my case I am using Windows operating system Windows 10 Pro build 21H2 (This can be found by going to PC properties).

So in my case below instructions apply. Follow the steps as applicable for your OS and then proceed to Docker Download.

Download docker by clicking on the button and then install.
After installation is complete, you can run the "docker" command from the command line to confirm.
