+                    Docker comes in several editions.
+                    For the Yocto Project, the stable community edition
+                    (i.e. "Docker CE Stable") is adequate.
+                    You can learn more about the Docker editions from the
+                    site.

+                    Click the link for the Docker edition associated with
+                    your development host machine's native software.
+                    For example, if your machine is running Microsoft
+                    Windows Version 10 and you want the Docker CE Stable
+                    edition, click that link under "Supported Platforms".

+                    The install page has pre-requisites your machine must
+                    meet.
+                    Be sure you read through this page and make sure your
+                    machine meets the requirements to run Docker.
+                    If your machine does not meet the requirements, the page
+                    has instructions to handle exceptions.
+                    For example, to run Docker on Windows 10, you must have
+                    the pro version of the operating system.
+                    If you have the home version, you need to install the

Toolbox</ulink>.

+                    operating system or for any other reason you do not have
+                    Microsoft Hyper-V, you would have to enter the BIOS and
