# Installing Docker Engine

Next, we are going to install Docker Engine on the Ubuntu machine we’ve created.

### Docker Engine

To install Docker Engine, follow the instruction from Docker below.

*Docker Engine Install:*[*https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/*](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)

#### Post Installation Steps

After Docker Engine is installed on Linux, be sure to follow Docker’s recommended post installation steps.

*Post Install:*[*https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/*](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/)

> [!NOTE]
> Make sure to follow the step that allows Docker to auto start on boot up. This is critical for Koios starting back up automatically after a shutdown.

#### What’s Next?

In the next section, we will discuss how to pull down the Koios image from Docker Hub.
