In my example, I have deleted the image - docker/whalesay which I downloaded earlier.

 

Note:- Before deleting an image, please make sure that no container is using that image.

DOCKER - How to install Docker

How to install Docker?

 

1)  Go to the URL:- https://get.docker.com/

 

2) Copy the command and run it on the local system:-

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

This command will get the script - get-docker.sh from the above URL and will deposit it to the local system. 

 

 

 

3) Now to run the shell script, run the command:- sh get-docker.sh which will start the installation of docker on the local system.

 

In this example, I am running the command with the root user. If you like to use Docker as a non root user, then we should add our user to the docker group with something like:-

sudo usermod -aG docker youruser

 

Once the docker is installed, you can check the version by the command:- docker version
