For this Getting Started Guide:
Note: Carefully read this module's cover page clicking on "Module 2: First Steps with Torizon" on the left menu bar before starting this lesson.
Head to the Docker Hub and create an account.
You need to install Docker on the host machine to be able to synchronize with your Docker Hub account on the next lessons.
To install Docker follow the instructions on the Official Docker Page
Enable Arm emulation in your PC:
$ wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/binfmt-support/binfmt-support_2.2.0-2_amd64.deb
$ wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu-user-static_3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u2_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt install ./binfmt-support_2.2.0-2_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt install ./qemu-user-static_3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u2_amd64.deb
Note: For detailed information about how to install the build environment for Torizon, refer to [Configure Build Environment for Torizon Containers](https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/configure-build-environment-for-torizon-containers#Enable_Arm _emulation).
On the terminal execute:
docker --version
This lets you check whether the installation was successful or not.
Make sure you can run the hello-world image in your Linux PC before going to the next lessons:
docker run hello-world
As mentioned in Docker's documentation, you will need to add your user to docker group to avoid needing root privileges.
Before you proceed, it is recommended checking your OS username:
$ whoami
On Debian-based distributions, like Ubuntu, you should use the addgroup
command:
$ sudo addgroup <your username> docker
Note: You need to log-out and log-in to the Linux sessing (or reboot machine) after the commands above for the changes take effect.
