### Get the Linux binary
### Get the Linux binaries

To download the latest version for Linux, use the
following URLs:

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-latest
https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-latest.tgz

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest
https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest.tgz

To download a specific version for Linux, use the
following URL patterns:

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-<version>
https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-<version>.tgz

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-<version>
https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-<version>.tgz

For example:

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-1.9.1
https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-1.11.0.tgz

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.11.0.tgz

> **Note** These instructions are for Docker Engine 1.11 and up. Engine 1.10 and
> under consists of a single binary, and instructions for those versions are
> different. To install version 1.10 or below, follow the instructions in the
> <a href="/v1.10/engine/installation/binaries/" target="_blank">1.10 documentation</a>.

#### Install the Linux binaries

After downloading, you extract the archive, which puts the binaries in a
directory named `docker` in your current location.

```bash
$ tar -xvzf docker-latest.tgz

docker/
docker/docker-containerd-ctr
docker/docker
docker/docker-containerd
docker/docker-runc
docker/docker-containerd-shim
```

Engine requires these binaries to be installed in your host's `$PATH`.
For example, to install the binaries in `/usr/bin`:

```bash
$ mv docker/* /usr/bin/
```

https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.9.1
> **Note**: If you already have Engine installed on your host, make sure you
> stop Engine before installing (`killall docker`), and install the binaries
> in the same location. You can find the location of the current installation
> with `dirname $(which docker)`.
#### Run the Engine daemon on Linux

You can manually start the Engine in daemon mode using:

```bash
$ sudo docker daemon &
```

The GitHub repository provides samples of init-scripts you can use to control
the daemon through a process manager, such as upstart or systemd. You can find
these scripts in the <a href="https://github.com/docker/docker/tree/master/contrib/init">
contrib directory</a>.

For additional information about running the Engine in daemon mode, refer to
the [daemon command](../reference/commandline/daemon.md) in the Engine command
line reference.

### Get the Mac OS X binary

The Mac OS X binary is only a client. You cannot use it to run the `docker`
daemon. To download the latest version for Mac OS X, use the following URLs:

https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-latest
https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-latest.tgz

To download a specific version for Mac OS X, use the
following URL patterns:
following URL pattern:

https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-<version>
https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-<version>.tgz

For example:

https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-1.9.1
https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-1.11.0.tgz

You can extract the downloaded archive either by double-clicking the downloaded
`.tgz` or on the command line, using `tar -xvzf docker-1.11.0.tgz`. The client
binary can be executed from any location on your filesystem.


### Get the Windows binary

You can only download the Windows client binary for version `1.9.1` onwards.
Moreover, the binary is only a client, you cannot use it to run the `docker` daemon.
You can only download the Windows binary for version `1.9.1` onwards.
Moreover, the 32-bit (`i386`) binary is only a client, you cannot use it to
run the `docker` daemon. The 64-bit binary (`x86_64`) is both a client and
daemon.

To download the latest version for Windows, use the following URLs:
