# Install Docker for Kata Containers on RHEL
> **Note:**
>
> - This guide assumes you have
> [already installed the Kata Containers packages](../rhel-installation-guide.md).
>
> - If you do not want to copy or type all these instructions by hand, you can use the
> [`kata-manager`](https://github.com/kata-containers/tests/blob/master/cmd/kata-manager/kata-manager.sh)
> script to install the packaged system including your chosen container
> manager. Alternatively, you can generate a runnable shell script from
> individual documents using the
> [`kata-doc-to-script`](https://github.com/kata-containers/tests/blob/master/.ci/kata-doc-to-script.sh) script.
1. Install the latest version of Docker with the following commands:
> **Note:** This step is only required if Docker is not installed on the system.
```bash
$ export rhel_devtoolset_version="7"
$ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-${rhel_devtoolset_version}-server-extras-rpms
$ sudo yum -y install docker && systemctl enable --now docker
```
For more information on installing Docker please refer to the
[Docker Guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux_atomic_host/7/html-single/getting_started_with_containers/#getting_docker_in_rhel_7).
2. Configure Docker to use Kata Containers by default with one of the following methods:
1. systemd
```bash
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/
$ cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/kata-containers.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -D --add-runtime kata-runtime=/usr/bin/kata-runtime --default-runtime=kata-runtime
EOF
```
2. Docker `daemon.json`
Add the following definitions to `/etc/docker/daemon.json`:
```json
{
"default-runtime": "kata-runtime",
"runtimes": {
"kata-runtime": {
"path": "/usr/bin/kata-runtime"
}
}
}
```
3. Restart the Docker systemd service with the following commands:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart docker
```
4. Run Kata Containers
You are now ready to run Kata Containers:
```bash
$ sudo docker run busybox uname -a
```
The previous command shows details of the kernel version running inside the
container, which is different to the host kernel version.
