System Requirements to Install Docker on a Mac

Mac With Intel chip

• Mac version 10.15 or higher is required. Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey are examples. We recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version of macOS.
• RAM must be at least 4 GB.

Mac with Apple silicon

• Docker eliminated the hard requirement to install Rosetta 2, starting with Docker Desktop 4.3.0. However, for a greater experience, we recommend using Rosetta 2.
  Run the following command to install Rosetta 2 from the command line:

 $ softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Pre-requisites: Docker-Desktop

Docker Desktop is a native desktop application for Windows and Mac’s users created by Docker. It is the most convenient way to launch, build, debug, and test containerized apps. Docker Desktop includes significant and helpful features such as quick edit-test cycles, file change notifications, built-in enterprise network compatibility, and the ability to work with proxies and VPNs of our own choice. Developer tools, Docker App, Kubernetes, and version synchronization are all part of the Docker desktop.

Note: Mac has two types of chips, so download the Docker According to your Mac chip.
