## Prerequisites
Docker Community Edition (Docker CE) is not supported on {{ linux-dist-long }}.
### Docker EE repository URL
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="ee-url-intro" %}
### OS requirements
To install Docker EE, you need the 64-bit version of {{ linux-dist-long }}
running on `x86_64`, `s390x` (IBM Z), or `ppc64le` (IBM Power) architectures.
In addition, you must use the `overlay2` or `devicemapper` storage driver. The
`overlay2` driver is preferred for ease of configuration, if you are able to
use it. The following limitations apply:
**OverlayFS**:
- The `overlay2` storage driver is only supported on RHEL 7.2 or higher.
- If `selinux` is enabled, the `overlay2` storage driver is only supported on
RHEL 7.4 or higher.
**Devicemapper**:
- On production systems using `devicemapper`, you must use `direct-lvm` mode,
which requires one or more dedicated block devices. Fast storage such as
solid-state media (SSD) is recommended.
{% capture selinux-warning %}
> **Warning**: There is currently no support for `selinux` on IBM Z systems. If
> you try to install Docker EE on an IBM Z system with `selinux` enabled, you get
> an error about the `container-selinux` package, which is missing from Red Hat's
> repository for IBM Z. The only current workaround is to disable `selinux`
> before installing or upgrading Docker on IBM Z.

### Uninstall old versions
Older versions of Docker were called `docker` or `docker-engine`. If these are
installed, uninstall them, along with associated dependencies.
```bash
$ sudo yum remove docker \
docker-common \
docker-selinux \
docker-engine-selinux \
docker-engine
```
It's OK if `yum` reports that none of these packages are installed.
The contents of `/var/lib/docker/`, including images, containers, volumes, and
networks, are preserved. The Docker EE package is now called `docker-ee`.
## Install Docker EE

### Install using the repository
Before you install Docker EE for the first time on a new host machine, you need
to set up the Docker repository. Afterward, you can install and update Docker EE
from the repository.
#### Set up the repository
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="set-up-yum-repo" %}
#### Install Docker EE
{{ selinux-warning }}
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="install-using-yum-repo" %}
#### Upgrade Docker EE
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="upgrade-using-yum-repo" %}
### Install from a package
{{ selinux-warning }}
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="install-using-yum-package" %}
#### Upgrade Docker EE
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="upgrade-using-yum-package" %}
## Uninstall Docker EE
{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="yum-uninstall" %}
