Install Docker on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows

Install Docker

Before learning to install Docker, it’s important to understand previous Docker editions. People new to Docker are frequently confused about Docker’s editions due to references to these editions in blog posts.

In the past, Docker offered two editions: the Docker Community Edition (Docker CE) and the Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE). The Docker Enterprise Edition was a premium version of the Community Edition that included additional features to help enterprises efficiently manage, launch, and secure their container workloads.

Mirantis acquired Docker Enterprise Edition in late 2019, leaving Docker with Docker Community Edition, known as the Docker Engine.
