Windows or Mac users can download docker from following website(For all OS):
https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
At this point, docker should be installed in your system
To check run the following command in the terminal: docker version
STEP 2 : Loading docker Image
Note For Windows Users: Use Windows Powershell to perform following steps & remove sudo
from commands
1. Download the file ee709_tools.tar.gz(Link) (File size - 255 MB, check that the download is
complete before proceeding)
The next step will require 5-6 GB of disk space. Ensure that you have enough free space on your
device before loading
2. Run "(sudo) docker load -i ee709_tools.tar.gz"
STEP 3 : Running and testing
3. Run "(sudo) docker run -it [OPTIONS] ee709_tools:v1"
No need to use any of the below optional flags for the initial testing.
[OPTIONS] := -v /your/directory/to/mount/:/home
–user $(id -u):$(id -g)

APPENDIX
You can skip reading this initially.
A. Run Docker Without Sudo - (UBUNTU USERS)
To run docker without root privileges, run the following in your terminal after installing
docker:
1. sudo groupadd docker
2. sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
3. newgrp docker
4. docker run -it ee709_tools:v1 # To test whether the above was successful
If you get an error “Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker
daemon socket at unix” at a later stage, run step 3 on the terminal and continue
B. Create files with user permissions (not root)
1. Run Docker with the option “–user $(id -u):$(id -g)”
The above will work only after steps in APPENDIX A are performed
