Install Docker Machine 2015

Install Docker Machine

On OS X and Windows, Machine is installed along with other Docker products when you install the Docker Toolbox. For details on installing Docker Toolbox, see the Mac OS X installation instructions or Windows installation instructions.

If you only want Docker Machine, you can install the Machine binaries (the latest versions of which are located athttps://github.com/docker/machine/releases/ ) directly by following the instructions in the next section.

Installing Machine Directly

1. Install the Docker binary.
2. Download the archive containing the Docker Machine binaries and extract them to your PATH.

   Linux:
   
   
       $ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.0/docker-machine_linux-amd64.zip >machine.zip && \
       unzip machine.zip && \
       rm machine.zip && \
       mv docker-machine* /usr/local/bin
   
   
   OSX:
   
   
       $ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.0/docker-machine_darwin-amd64.zip >machine.zip && \
       unzip machine.zip && \
       rm machine.zip && \
       mv docker-machine* /usr/local/bin
   
   
   Windows (using Git Bash):
   
   
       $ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.0/docker-machine_windows-amd64.zip >machine.zip && \
       unzip machine.zip && \
       rm machine.zip && \
       mv docker-machine* /usr/local/bin
   

3. Check the installation by displaying the Machine version:

   $ docker-machine -v
   machine version 0.5.0 (3e06852)
   

Installing bash completion scripts

The Machine repository supplies several bash scripts that add features such as:

• command completion
• a function that displays the active machine in your shell prompt
• a function wrapper that adds a docker-machine use subcommand to switch the active machine

To install the scripts, copy or link them into your /etc/bash_completion.d or/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d file. To enable the docker-machineshell prompt, add $(__docker-machine-ps1) to your PS1 setting in~/.bashrc.

PS1='[\u@\h \W$(__docker-machine-ps1)]\$ '

You can find additional documentation in the comments at the top of each script.
