### Does Docker run on macOS or Windows?
Docker Engine currently runs only on Linux, but you can use VirtualBox to run
Engine in a virtual machine on your box, and get the best of both worlds. Check
out the [*macOS*](installation/mac.md) and [*Microsoft
Windows*](installation/windows.md) installation guides. The small Linux
distribution boot2docker can be set up using the Docker Machine tool to be run
inside virtual machines on these two operating systems.
The Docker Engine client runs natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows. By default, these
clients connect to a local Docker daemon running in a virtual environment managed
by Docker, which provides the required features to run Linux-based containers within
OS X or Windows, or Windows-based containers on Windows.
>**Note:** if you are using a remote Docker Engine daemon on a VM through Docker
>Machine, then _do not_ type the `sudo` before the `docker` commands shown in
>the documentation's examples.
If your version of macOS or Windows does not include the required virtualization
technology, you can use Docker Machine to work around these limitations.
You can run Windows-based **containers** on Windows Server 2016 and
Windows 10. Windows-based containers require a Windows kernel to run, in the same
way that Linux-based containers require a Linux kernel to run. You can even run
Windows-based containers on a Windows virtual machine running on an macOS or Linux
host. Docker Machine is not necessary if you run macOS 10.10.3 Yosemite, Windows
Server 2016, or Windows 10.
