Windows

If you are a Windows Home user, you will not be able install the [[Docker for Windows]] Desktop edition, as it requires [[Hyper-V virtualization]]. This is supported only by [[Windows Professional]] and Enterprise editions.

[[Windows Home]] users will need to install [[Docker Toolbox]] which uses [[VirtualBox]] instead. Please follow the instructions below for installation:

https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/

You may also need to enable virtualisation in your computer's [[BIOS settings]]. This will be different for each manufacturer, please refer to their documentation on which keys to use to access these settings on reboot.

Note

A major difference between the course lecture using [[Docker Desktop]] vs. [[Docker Toolbox]] is that you will not be able to use [[localhost]] anymore.

Instead, you will need to access your machine with the [[IP Address]] 192.168.99.100
