# Install Docker for Kata Containers on RHEL
> **Note:**
>
> - This guide assumes you have
> [already installed the Kata Containers packages](../rhel-installation-guide.md).
1. Install the latest version of Docker with the following commands:
> **Notes:**
>
> - This step is only required if Docker is not installed on the system.
> - Docker version 18.09 [removed devicemapper support](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/issues/373).
> If you wish to use a block based backend, see the options listed on https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/issues/407.
```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 (this is the default and is applied automatically if you select the
[automatic installation](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/tree/master/install#automatic-installation) option)
```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`
Create docker configuration folder.
```
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/docker
```
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.
