What You Need Before You Begin#

Operating System Requirements#

First things first, make sure you’re running one of the following 64-bit Ubuntu versions to install Docker CE:

  • Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) - LTS
  • Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful)
  • Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) - LTS
  • Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) - LTS

Docker CE is compatible with these architectures: x86_64, armhf, s390x (IBM Z), and ppc64le (IBM Power).

Note: For IBM Z and Power architectures, you’ll need at least Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) or higher.
