# Using Docker
## 1 Installing Docker
The first step is to install docker on the Raspberry Pi. It is assumed you have already set up your Raspberry Pi using the instructions in the **Getting Started** worksheet.
The simplest way to install Docker is to use the apt package manager. We search for the software we want, check the details and then install:
```shell
$ sudo apt update
Fetched 13.0 MB in 1min 8s (191 kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
$ apt cache search docker
docker - transitional package
docker-compose - Punctual, lightweight development environments using Docker
docker-swarm - Docker\'s native clustering system
docker.io - Linux container runtime
$ apt-cache policy docker.io
docker.io:
Version table:
*** 18.09.1+dfsg1-7.1+rpi1 500
500 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/main armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ sudo apt install docker.io
$ docker --version
```
Once the software is installed, lwe should test the setup with the Docker equivalent of "hello world"
```shell
$ docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
c1eda109e4da: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:6540fc08ee6e6b7b63468dc3317e3303aae178cb8a45ed3123180328bcc1d20f
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
```
### 1.1 Test Your Understanding
You will also need to install:
1. Docker Compose
2. Docker Swarm
Use the commands from the installation of the Docker container runtime to find the names of the packages in the repository, check their versions and install.
## 2 Deploying Containers
- using existing image as a base
- deploy to the Rpi
