Instructions for Web Applications on Mac (M1, M2, and Future) Machines using Docker

Install Docker on your Engine

Prerequisites

Ensure that your Mac is running macOS 12.5 or a newer version. To check your macOS version, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and select “About This Mac.” Update to the latest version if necessary.

Steps to Install Docker

  1. Download Docker Engine for Apple Silicon: Visit the following link and download the Docker Engine for Apple Silicon.

    Note: If you have an Intel processor, select the version for Intel chips. Alternatively, you can choose the Docker Engine for Windows if you are using a Windows system.

  2. Open the Docker Installer: Open Finder on your Mac and go to the “Downloads” directory. Double click on the Docker.dmg file to open it.

  3. Install Docker: Drag Docker.dmg to the “Applications” directory.

  4. Verify Installation: Open the “Applications” directory from your dock and open Docker to see whether it is installed correctly. If installed correctly, you should see the Docker window with no containers in it. If you have an Intel-based Mac skip the next two steps.
