# Install Docker Machine
On OS X and Windows, Machine is installed along with other Docker products when
you install the Docker Toolbox. For details on installing Docker Toolbox, see
the Mac OS X
installation instructions or Windows
installation instructions.
If you only want Docker Machine, you can install the Machine binaries (the
latest versions of which are located at
https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/) directly by following the
instructions in the next section.
