Docker is supported on the following versions of Ubuntu:

- [*Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (LTS) (64-bit)*](#ubuntu-trusty-1404-lts-64-bit)
- [*Ubuntu Precise 12.04 (LTS) (64-bit)*](#ubuntu-precise-1204-lts-64-bit)
- [*Ubuntu Raring 13.04 and Saucy 13.10 (64
bit)*](#ubuntu-raring-1304-and-saucy-1310-64-bit)

Please read [*Docker and UFW*](#docker-and-ufw), if you plan to use [UFW
(Uncomplicated Firewall)](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW)

## Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (LTS) (64-bit)

Ubuntu Trusty comes with a 3.13.0 Linux kernel, and a `docker.io` package which
installs all its prerequisites from Ubuntu's repository.

> **Note**:
> Ubuntu (and Debian) contain a much older KDE3/GNOME2 package called ``docker``, so the
> package and the executable are called ``docker.io``.

### Installation

To install the latest Ubuntu package (may not be the latest Docker release):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/docker.io /usr/local/bin/docker

Nice, a good solution (presumably avoids the default install location of the docker package).


To verify that everything has worked as expected:

sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

Which should download the `ubuntu` image, and then start `bash` in a container.


## Ubuntu Precise 12.04 (LTS) (64-bit)

This installation path should work at all times.
