To install the latest version, run:
```console
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
```
If prompted to accept the GPG key, verify that the fingerprint matches
`060A 61C5 1B55 8A7F 742B 77AA C52F EB6B 621E 9F35`, and if so, accept it.
This command installs Docker, but it doesn't start Docker. It also creates a
`docker` group, however, it doesn't add any users to the group by default.
To install a specific version, start by listing the available versions in
the repository:
```console
$ dnf list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
docker-ce.x86_64 3:24.0.0-1.fc37 docker-ce-stable
docker-ce.x86_64 3:23.0.6-1.fc37 docker-ce-stable
<...>
```
The list returned depends on which repositories are enabled, and is specific
to your version of Fedora (indicated by the `.fc37` suffix in this example).
Install a specific version by its fully qualified package name, which is
the package name (`docker-ce`) plus the version string (2nd column),
separated by a hyphen (`-`). For example, `docker-ce-3:24.0.0-1.fc37`.
Replace `` with the desired version and then run the following
command to install:
```console
$ sudo dnf -y install docker-ce- docker-ce-cli- containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
```
This command installs Docker, but it doesn't start Docker. It also creates a
`docker` group, however, it doesn't add any users to the group by default.
2. Start Docker.
```console
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
3. Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the
`hello-world` image.
```console
$ sudo docker run hello-world
```
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine.

#### Upgrade Docker Engine
To upgrade Docker Engine, follow the [installation instructions](#install-using-the-repository),
choosing the new version you want to install.
### Install from a package
If you can't use Docker's `rpm` repository to install Docker Engine, you can
download the `.rpm` file for your release and install it manually. You need to
download a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker Engine.
1. Go to [{{ download-url-base }}/]({{ download-url-base }}/){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" }
and choose your version of Fedora. Then browse to `x86_64/stable/Packages/`
and download the `.rpm` file for the Docker version you want to install.
2. Install Docker Engine, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
the Docker package.
```console
$ sudo dnf -y install /path/to/package.rpm
```
Docker is installed but not started. The `docker` group is created, but no
users are added to the group.
3. Start Docker.
```console
$ sudo systemctl start docker
```
4. Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the
`hello-world` image.
```console
$ sudo docker run hello-world
```
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
You have now successfully installed and started Docker Engine.

#### Upgrade Docker Engine
To upgrade Docker Engine, download the newer package files and repeat the
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), using `dnf -y upgrade`
instead of `dnf -y install`, and point to the new files.
{% include install-script.md %}
## Uninstall Docker Engine
1. Uninstall the Docker Engine, CLI, containerd, and Docker Compose packages:
```console
$ sudo dnf remove docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras
```
2. Images, containers, volumes, or custom configuration files on your host
aren't automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and volumes:
```console
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd
```
You have to delete any edited configuration files manually.
