Installation on windows 10

Hello, I am installling fenics on windows 10.

Although download manual talk about docker quickstart terminal and docker tool box, docker throw them. So I cannot use them.

I use the windows power shell terminal, but the terminal told me that docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/home/fenics/shared Quay
bash: docker: command not found.
How can I fix it? Please help me.

What do you mean by throw them?

Also, if you powershell cannot find the command docker it likely means that you havent installed it.
I would suggest you have a look at: Install Docker Desktop on Windows | Docker Docs

‘throw’ means that docker doesn’t use the docker quick start terminal and docker toolbox. We can use only the docker desktop for windows. I installed the docker and I could check that.

But clearly you do not have docker in your powershell, as it cannot find the command.

Please see the below code I written in powershell. Do you think that I don’t have docker?

But here you ave already ran the code. It has executed as shown:

To me, it seems like you are trying to spawn a new docker container inside the docker container.

Thank you for your help. But it is not essential. Although I revised the code, docker told me that ‘command not found’. Please see the below code.

Please read my reply carefully. The commands you show above shows that you have started the docker container, and that you have been able to run the code, indicated by:

Then, for some reason unknown to me, you are trying to start another docker container inside the already launched container:

As docker is not installed inside the docker container, this throws an error.
