If your like me and had a lot of trouble understanding how to install docker desktop , I found A quick easy way to do it!
Step 1 : Install Chocolatey
you may skip this step if chocolaty is already installed on your machine
Chocolatey is a free package manger for windows. You can install by opening Powershell in administrator mode like so:
then once Powershell is open type in this command
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
then wait for Chocolatey to download.
Step 2 Download the package for docker desktop!
Now open up another Powershell in admin mode ,
and type in
choco install docker-desktop
Thats it!
now it will run you through some prompts and you are good to go!
Thank you for reading and happy coding!
