Install Docker Machine
Docker Machine is supported on Windows, OS X, and Linux and is installable as one standalone binary. The links to the binaries for the various platforms and architectures are below:
OSX and Linux
To install on OSX or Linux, download the proper binary to somewhere in your
PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin) and make it executable. For instance, to install on
most OSX machines these commands should suffice:
$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.3.0/docker-machine_darwin-amd64 > /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
For Linux, just substitute "linux" for "darwin" in the binary name above.
Now you should be able to check the version with docker-machine -v:
$ docker-machine -v
machine version 0.3.0
In order to run Docker commands on your machines without having to use SSH, make sure to install the Docker client as well, e.g.:
$ curl -L https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-latest > /usr/local/bin/docker
Windows
Currently, Docker recommends that you install and use Docker Machine on Windows
with msysgit. This will provide you with some
programs that Docker Machine relies on such as ssh, as well as a functioning
shell.
When you have installed msysgit, start up the terminal prompt and run the following commands. Here it is assumed that you are on a 64-bit Windows installation. If you are on a 32-bit installation, please substitute "i386" for "x86_64" in the URLs mentioned.
First, install the Docker client binary:
$ curl -L https://get.docker.com/builds/Windows/x86_64/docker-latest.exe > /bin/docker
Next, install the Docker Machine binary:
$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.3.0/docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe > /bin/docker-machine
Now running docker-machine should work.
$ docker-machine -v
machine version 0.3.0
