# Using with Boot2docker

For usage with boot2docker, there is a helper function in the utils package named `kwargs_from_env`, it will pass any environment variables from Boot2docker to the Client.

First run boot2docker in your shell:
```bash
$ $(boot2docker shellinit)
Writing /Users/you/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem
Writing /Users/you/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/cert.pem
Writing /Users/you/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/key.pem
export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/you/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
```

You can then instantiate `docker.Client` like this:
```python
from docker.client import Client
from docker.utils import kwargs_from_env

client = Client(**kwargs_from_env())
print client.version()
```
