Docker Toolbox is cool! It is a single point download that gives you everything to get started with Docker. But it comes with other tools like VirtualBox and Kitematic which you may not want. So what do you do?
You install the tools that you like using CLI. This blog shows how to do exactly that.
All the commands are installed in the /usr/bin/local directory.
Latest Docker CLI
This command downloads and installs the latest Docker CLI.
curl -L https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-latest > /usr/local/bin/docker && \ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker
Another simpler way to install and manage different versions of CLI are using Docker Version Manager or dvm.
DVM provides a decent set of commands:
~ > dvm <TAB> alias help list-alias ls-alias uninstall use current install list-remote ls-remote unload version deactivate list ls unalias upgrade which
Latest Docker Machine
This command downloads and installs the latest Docker Machine.
curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.6.0/docker-machine-Darwin-x86_64 > /usr/local/bin/docker-machine && \ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
Latest Docker Compose
This command downloads and installs the latest Docker Compose.
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.6.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && \ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Enjoy!
