First you will need to create a ubuntu server virtual machine you can find the ISO file for this here: https://ubuntu.com/download/server, once you have the virtual machine setup, you should have the CLI interface in front of you.

Next you will want to type in these commands.

sudo apt update then enter in your password, let it update

then type sudo apt upgrade again enter in your password

Now it is time to install docker onto the virtual machine, the easiest way to do this I have found is to use putty to remote into the virtual machine as it allows for you to copy and paste please follow the guide here to install putty: https://thebunce.co.uk/installing-putty/

Once you SSH into the Virtual machine you should be greeted with the login screen on the CLI, please login

Once you SSH into the Virtual machine you should be greeted with the login screen on the CLI, please login

Next copy and paste the following commands into the CLI

sudo apt install docker.io

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.5/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

sudo docker-compose --version
