Installing Docker

We use Docker locally to run our required services like databases, message brokers, and more. Docker allows us to run these services in isolated containers without having to install them directly on our system.

1. Install Docker Desktop: Download and install Docker Desktop from the official website.

2. Run Docker Desktop: Open Docker Desktop and make sure it's running. You should see a whale icon in your menu bar.

3. Verify Installation: Run the following command in your terminal to verify that Docker is installed correctly:

   docker --version

   If the command returns a version number, Docker is installed correctly.
