{: .important}
To get started with Docker Engine on Ubuntu, make sure you
[meet the prerequisites](#prerequisites), then
[install Docker](#installation-methods).
## Prerequisites
### OS requirements
To install Docker Engine, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Ubuntu
versions:
- Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 (LTS)
- Ubuntu Impish 21.10
- Ubuntu Focal 20.04 (LTS)
- Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (LTS)
Docker Engine is supported on `x86_64` (or `amd64`), `armhf`, `arm64`, and `s390x` architectures.
### Uninstall old versions
Older versions of Docker were called `docker`, `docker.io`, or `docker-engine`.
If these are installed, uninstall them:
```console
$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
```
It's OK if `apt-get` reports that none of these packages are installed.
The contents of `/var/lib/docker/`, including images, containers, volumes, and
networks, are preserved. If you do not need to save your existing data, and want to
start with a clean installation, refer to the [uninstall Docker Engine](#uninstall-docker-engine)
section at the bottom of this page.
## Installation methods
You can install Docker Engine in different ways, depending on your needs:
- Most users
[set up Docker's repositories](#install-using-the-repository) and install
from them, for ease of installation and upgrade tasks. This is the
recommended approach.
- Some users download the DEB package and
[install it manually](#install-from-a-package) and manage
upgrades completely manually. This is useful in situations such as installing
Docker on air-gapped systems with no access to the internet.
- In testing and development environments, some users choose to use automated
[convenience scripts](#install-using-the-convenience-script) to install Docker.
### Install using the repository
Before you install Docker Engine for the first time on a new host machine, you need
to set up the Docker repository. Afterward, you can install and update Docker
from the repository.
#### Set up the repository
{% assign download-url-base = "https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu" %}
1. Update the `apt` package index and install packages to allow `apt` to use a
repository over HTTPS:
```console
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg \
lsb-release
```
2. Add Docker's official GPG key:
```console
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
$ curl -fsSL {{ download-url-base }}/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
```
3. Use the following command to set up the repository:
```console
$ echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] {{ download-url-base }} \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
```
#### Install Docker Engine
1. Update the `apt` package index, and install the _latest version_ of Docker
Engine, containerd, and Docker Compose, or go to the next step to install a specific version:
```console
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
```
> Receiving a GPG error when running `apt-get update`?
>
> Your default umask may not be set correctly, causing the public key file
> for the repo to not be detected. Run the following command and then try to
> update your repo again: `sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg`.
2. To install a _specific version_ of Docker Engine, list the available versions
in the repo, then select and install:
a. List the versions available in your repo:
```console
$ apt-cache madison docker-ce
docker-ce | 5:20.10.16~3-0~ubuntu-jammy | https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages
docker-ce | 5:20.10.15~3-0~ubuntu-jammy | https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages
docker-ce | 5:20.10.14~3-0~ubuntu-jammy | https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages
docker-ce | 5:20.10.13~3-0~ubuntu-jammy | https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu jammy/stable amd64 Packages
```
b. Install a specific version using the version string from the second column,
for example, `5:20.10.16~3-0~ubuntu-jammy`.
```console
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
```
3. Verify that Docker Engine is installed correctly 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 message and exits.
Docker Engine is installed and running. The `docker` group is created but no users
are added to it. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker commands.
Continue to [Linux postinstall](linux-postinstall.md) to allow non-privileged
users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration steps.
#### Upgrade Docker Engine
To upgrade Docker Engine, first run `sudo apt-get update`, then follow the
[installation instructions](#install-using-the-repository), choosing the new
version you want to install.
### Install from a package
If you cannot use Docker's repository to install Docker Engine, you can download the
`.deb` file for your release and install it manually. You need to download
a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker.
1. Go to [`{{ download-url-base }}/dists/`]({{ download-url-base }}/dists/){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" },
choose your Ubuntu version, then browse to `pool/stable/`, choose `amd64`,
`armhf`, `arm64`, or `s390x`, and download the `.deb` file for the Docker Engine
version you want to install.
2. Install Docker Engine, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
the Docker package.
```console
$ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb
```
The Docker daemon starts automatically.
3. Verify that Docker Engine is installed correctly 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 message and exits.
Docker Engine is installed and running. The `docker` group is created but no users
are added to it. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker commands.
Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](linux-postinstall.md) to allow
non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration
steps.
#### Upgrade Docker Engine
To upgrade Docker Engine, download the newer package file and repeat the
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), pointing to the new file.
{% include install-script.md %}
## Uninstall Docker Engine
1. Uninstall the Docker Engine, CLI, Containerd, and Docker Compose packages:
```console
$ sudo apt-get purge docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
```
2. Images, containers, volumes, or customized configuration files on your host
are not automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and
volumes:
```console
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd
```
You must delete any edited configuration files manually.
## Next steps
- Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](linux-postinstall.md).
- Review the topics in [Develop with Docker](../../develop/index.md) to learn how to build new applications using Docker.
