To install Docker on Windows please follow this recipe from the official Docker website:
After installing Docker, the "Docker Desktop" Application should be available and the docker command should be executable inside the Windows Command Line Tool as cmd-prompt.
If your version of Windows supports WSL2 (Windows subsystem for Linux) we recommend enabling and using it as a backend for Docker for Windows.
Docker for Windows detects if your system is capable of using WSL2. Follow the steps in the Docker GUI to install and enable WSL2. Further information can be found on the Docker website: Docker WSL2 integration
| If WSL2 is not installed Docker is using the Hyper-V backend to execute containers which might lead to lower performance in compute-heavy or IO-intensive applications. |
To finish the installation of Docker, please reboot your PC.
