### 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.
