# Install Docker for Kata Containers on Ubuntu
> **Note:**
>
> - This guide assumes you have
> [already installed the Kata Containers packages](../ubuntu-installation-guide.md).
1. Install Docker with the following commands:
> **Notes:**
>
> - This step is only required if Docker is not installed on the system.
> - Newer versions of Docker have
> [removed devicemapper support](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/issues/373)
> so the following commands install the latest version, which includes
> devicemapper support.
> - To remove the lock on the docker package to allow it to be updated:
> ```sh
> $ sudo apt-mark unhold docker-ce
> ```
```bash
$ sudo -E apt-get -y install apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common
$ curl -sL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)
$ sudo -E add-apt-repository "deb [arch=${arch}] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
$ sudo -E apt-get update
$ sudo -E apt-get -y install --allow-downgrades docker-ce='18.06.2~ce~3-0~ubuntu'
$ sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce
```
For more information on installing Docker please refer to the
[Docker Guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntu).
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.
