Docker CLI

The official Docker command-line interface for building, running, and managing containers, images, networks, and volumes against the Docker daemon.

Install

brew install docker
$

The Docker CLI is the docker command developers use to talk to the Docker daemon, building images, running and stopping containers, and managing networks and volumes. It is the primary entry point to the Docker platform and is itself extended by plugins like compose, scout, model, and mcp. Written in Go and Apache-2.0 licensed, it ships with Docker Desktop or installs standalone with Docker Engine.
