Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS
=================================
.. include:: install_header.inc
.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
Docker is available for **RHEL/CentOS 6**.
Please note that this package is part of a `Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)`_, a community effort to create and maintain additional packages for RHEL distribution.
Please note that due to the current Docker limitations Docker is able to run only on the **64 bit** architecture.
Installation
------------
1. Firstly, let's make sure our RHEL host is up-to-date.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo yum -y upgrade
2. Next you need to install the EPEL repository. Please follow the `EPEL installation instructions`_.
3. Next let's install the ``docker-io`` package which will install Docker on our host.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo yum -y install docker-io
4. Now it's installed lets start the Docker daemon.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo service docker start
If we want Docker to start at boot we should also:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo chkconfig docker on
5. Now let's verify that Docker is working.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
**Done!**, now continue with the :ref:`hello_world` example.
