This topic discusses installation of Docker Desktop from an [Arch package](https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-4.26.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst) that Docker provides in addition to the supported platforms. Docker has not tested or verified the installation.

|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To install Docker Desktop successfully, you must meet the [system requirements](linux-install.md#system-requirements).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, for non-Gnome Desktop environments, `gnome-terminal` must be installed:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S gnome-terminal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Docker Desktop
|
|
|
|
1. Install client binaries. Docker does not have an Arch package repository. Binaries not included in the package must be installed manually before installing Docker Desktop.
|
|
|
|
2. [Install Docker client binary on Linux](../../engine/install/binaries.md#install-daemon-and-client-binaries-on-linux). On Arch-based distributions, users must install the Docker client binary.
|
|
Static binaries for the Docker client are available for Linux (as `docker`).
|
|
|
|
3. Download the Arch package from the [release](../release-notes.md) page.
|
|
|
|
4. Install the package:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo pacman -U ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.pkg.tar.zst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
- [Explore Docker Desktop](../use-desktop/index.md) and all its features.
|
|
- Review the topics in [Develop with Docker](../../develop/index.md) to learn how to build new applications using Docker. |
