Install Docker on MAC

Installing Docker on mac​

for mac, when installing docker Desktop, the CLI automatically comes with it. There are two ways to install it.

Official Docker Site​

This is very simple, you can head over to the official docker site (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/mac-install/)  and follow the steps there (Install the DMG).

The instructions are relatively simple. Once installed, you should have the app that looks like this

Homebrew​

This is even more simple, with one command, you can install it, head over to the official site: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker, and copy the command and paste it in your shell (terminal)

brew install docker , this will install docker through brew, although personally i prefer the standard way through the docker site.
