# Install Docker Machine
|
|
|
|
Docker Machine is supported on Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems. You
|
|
can install using one of Docker's automated installation methods or you can
|
|
download and install via a binary. This page details each of those methods.
|
|
|
|
## OS X and Windows
|
|
|
|
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 <a href="https://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/" target="_blank">Mac OS X
|
|
installation</a> instructions or <a
|
|
href="https://docs.docker.com/installation/windows" target="_blank">Windows
|
|
installation</a> instructions.
|
|
|
|
If you only want Docker Machine, you can install [the Machine binaries
|
|
directly](https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/). Alternatively, OS X
|
|
users have the option to follow the Linux installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
## On Linux
|
|
|
|
To install on Linux, do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Install <a href="https://docs.docker.com/installation/"
|
|
target="_blank">Docker version 1.7.1 or greater</a>:
|
|
|
|
2. Download the Machine binary to somewhere in your `PATH` (for example,
|
|
`/usr/local/bin`).
|
|
|
|
$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.4.0/docker-machine_linux-amd64 > /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
|
|
|
|
3. Apply executable permissions to the binary:
|
|
|
|
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
|
|
|
|
4. Check the installation by displaying the Machine version:
|
|
|
|
$ docker-machine -v
|
|
machine version 0.4.0
|
|
|
|
## Install from binary
|
|
|
|
The Docker Machine team compiles binaries for several platforms and
|
|
architectures and makes them available from [the Machine release page on
|
|
Github](https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/). To install from a binary:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the binary you want.
|
|
2. Rename the binary to `docker-machine`.
|
|
3. Move the `docker-machine` file to an appropriate directory on your system.
|
|
|
|
For example, on an OS X machine, you might move it to the `/usr/local/bin`
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
4. Ensure the file's executable permissions are correct.
|
|
5. Apply executable permissions to the binary:
|
|
|
|
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
|
|
|
|
6. Check the installation by displaying the Machine version:
|
|
|
|
$ docker-machine -v
|
|
machine version 0.4.0
|
