Docker is a Linux container management system based on LXC. It is a
very young system but is being developed rapidly.
- [Installation packages](http://www.docker.io/gettingstarted/#h_installation)
+ [Installation packages](http://www.docker.io/gettingstarted/)
are available for several platforms.
+
+ If a prebuilt docker package is not available for your platform, the
+ short instructions for installing it are:
+
+ 1. Create a `docker` group and add yourself to it.
+
+ <pre>
+ $ sudo addgroup docker
+ $ sudo adduser `whoami` docker
+ </pre>
+
+ Log out and back in.
+
+ 2. Add a `cgroup` filesystem and mount it:
+
+ <pre>
+ $ mkdir -p /cgroup
+ $ grep cgroup /etc/fstab
+ none /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0
+ $ sudo mount /cgroup
+ </pre>
+
+ 3. Enable IPv4 forwarding:
+
+ <pre>
+ $ grep ipv4.ip_forward /etc/sysctl.conf
+ net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+ $ sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+ </pre>
+
+ 4. [Download and run a docker binary from docker.io.](http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/binaries/)
