Install Docker Desktop

Download Docker Desktop

Docker Desktop is fairly straight forward to install. I recommend checking out Official Docker Desktop Install Page. They cover a lot more topics such as enabling hardware virtualization in your BIOS, system requirements, etc.. This guide will specifically cover the WSL2 version of Docker Desktop.

When ready, download the installer from the link above. In most cases Docker Desktop for Windows - x86_64 will be the correct version. Click the link to download it, then run the installer.

Installation

Once the installer opens, follow the wizard to install Docker Desktop. I recommend using WSL2 as it will provide the best performance.
