Docker Hub Installation
Preparing the Software Environment
Before installing the Nuclias Connect, we must rst set up the environment. The steps outlined in the following information are
provided as a guide to complete the installation task. Please follow the guide for installing Nuclias Connect with Docker Hub in
the following order before continuing on to the next item on the list.
• Install Docker
• Install Docker Compose
• Install Nuclias Connect via the terminal
Install Docker
Docker is available in two editions: Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). In this section, Docker CE is used. For
more information about Docker CE, see Docker Enterprise Edition.
To install Docker, you will need a 64-bit OS and a kernel at 3.10 or newer. Kernels older than 3.10 do not have the necessary
features required to run containers; data loss and kernel panics occur frequently under certain conditions.
Check your current Linux version by using the uname –r command.
Prerequisites
To install Docker CE, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Ubuntu versions, or CentOS 7:
• Cosmic 18.10
• Bionic 18.04 (LTS)
• Xenial 16.04 (LTS)
• User name with sudo privileges
Docker CE is supported on x86_64 (or amd64), armhf, arm64, s390x (IBM Z), and ppc64le (IBM Power) architectures.
Uninstalling Previous Versions of Docker
It is recommended to uninstall any previous versions of the Docker software before proceeding. Use the following command
to uninstall.
$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io docker-ce
Once the previous version is removed, the latest version of the Docker software can be installed.
