## Install Docker

See [this page of the Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) for instructions on how to install Docker Desktop for your operating system.
Aztec tooling requires the Docker daemon to be running, and this is easily achieved via Docker Desktop. See [this page of the Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) for instructions on how to install Docker Desktop for your operating system.
Note: if installing via Docker Desktop, you do NOT need to keep the application open at all times (just Docker daemon).

Once you have Docker installed, make sure it is running by opening the Docker Desktop application.
Installing and running the Docker daemon can also be achieved by installing Docker Engine, see [these instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).

However installed, ensure Docker daemon is running. See [start Docker daemon](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/start/).
